title: [The organization and utilization of a bone bank with femur heads].
abstract: In 1984 a "bone bank" containing femoral heads taken from live donors was created at the 2nd Orthopaedic Department of the University of Florence. The authors emphasize that these bones are very easy and inexpensive to obtain and store. They describe the organization of the "bone bank" and present the results of its first four years of activity.
