[Bone allografting].
Bone allografts facilitate bone reconstruction in orthopedic surgery. Appropriate donor selection and processing of grafts minimize the risk of disease transfer. After implantation, bone allografts become necrotic but are incorporated and remodeled in the recipient bone with good regenerative capacity. We use bone allografts in about 3% of all elective orthopedic operations in our hospital. We use bone allografts regularly in acetabuloplasty in cases of severe residual hip dysplasia. These transplants simplify and shorten the operation and improve the results in our hands. Bone allografts are most often used in revision total joint arthroplasty. In cases of reconstruction of defects in benign bone tumors and tumor-like lesions, bone allografts are often suitable. In fibrous dysplasia, corticocancellous bone allografts are even the treatment of choice.
