[Bone transplantation. Where are we in 1991?].
Bone transplants are used in acute injuries, non-unions, defects after tumour, and total joint surgery. Autogenous cancellous bone from the iliac crest is still the most frequently used material. Allogeneic cadaver bone is an acceptable alternative for treating major defects after tumour resection, especially as osteoarticular graft about the knee. Allografts in total hip revisions have not been successful. Demineralized allogeneic bone matrix, bone morphogenetic protein and various bone mineral substitutes are experimental. There are distinct indications for pedicled and vascularized autografts which should be available whenever their use is warranted.
