title: [Transplantation using allogeneic bone in orthopedics].
abstract: The reconstruction of large skeletal defects presents a challenging problem to the orthopaedic community. Currently bone graft surgery enjoys renewed interest because of the increased demand for bone grafts in limb salvaging bone tumour surgery and reconstructive surgery on failed arthroplasties. Two patients treated with an allograft are presented.
