title: [HIV virus and orthopedic surgery].
abstract: The risks of HIV viral transmission by blood transfusion or by bone transplantation during planned surgical orthopaedic procedures has been studied from French epidemiological data on the subject. The authors outline methods which may be used to reduce these risks: planned auto-transfusion of blood, serological assessment of a donor and quarantine of allograft material. Finally, the authors have examined the risks of contamination of the surgical team during an operation.
