title: [Thermal processing of homologous bone transplants for the bone bank as additional safety measure in AIDS prophylaxis].
abstract: Under the supposition that retrovirus is inactivated by heating at 56 degrees C, we explored what time was necessary to reach 65 degrees C as a central temperature in a femoral head by heating (14 femoral heads). We found that at a stove temperature of 85 degrees C and a femoral head volume of 81 ml the average central temperature was 66.1 degrees C after 1 hour. After 1.5 hours of heating a sufficient security should be guaranteed to avoid Aids-transmission by bone grafts.
