Our clinical experience with the use of allografts and bone banking

Abstract

Objectives: We evaluated patients in whom allografts were used. The allografts were obtained from the bone bank in the Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Medical Faculty of Ondokuz Mayis University. Methods: Allografts were used in 33 patients between August 1994 and January 1998. Mean age was 33.2 years (range 5-70 years). The patients were clinically and radiologically examined monthly and annually before and after complete union was obtained, respectively. Results: Complete union was achieved in all patients but one (97.1%), who was successfully treated with the reutilization of an allograft. The average consolidation time was 8 weeks (range 4-22 weeks). Only three adverse events were encountered. One patient died from pulmonary thromboembolism on the second postoperative day. Sterile and infected drainages occurred in two patients, respectively, both of which were successfully treated. Conclusion: Provided that thorough serologic and microbiologic examinations of donors are made and appropriate techniques are applied in the removal and storage of allografts, use of bone bank allografts is more reliable and economic and offers many advantages including decreased donor site morbidity, decreased blood loss and operation time during surgery, and high osteogenic potential.
