title: Bone transplantation.
abstract: Organ transplantation is a recognised surgical procedure. Bone transplantation (allografting) is a procedure being used increasingly in Orthopaedic reconstructive surgery. It involves the transplantation of bone between two unrelated individuals. This technique started expanding in the 1970's in the US and Canada and is rapidly gaining popularity in the UK. No blood grouping or tissue typing is required and the recipient does not need immunosuppressive therapy.
