Abstract
There is definite value of bone grafting in Orthopedics, especially allografts as and when required. There are bone banks in some metro cities and procuring the grafts is difficult and costly tasks. Such facilities are not available in peripheral and rural set up in developing countries like India. One has to depend and develop his own solutions to the problem being faced in day to day activities. Lytic lesions and bone loss in traumatic patients remain challenge when autogenous cancellous graft is scanty or difficult to retrieve such as those in younger child. We have developed our own technique of using cancellous, copious allograft from autoclaved femoral head which are available following arthroplasty. Tissue typing is not required as the graft is autoclaved. We have gratifying results and are waiting for long term follow-up.
