Abstract

When addressing bone defects resulting from trauma, infection, or tumors, the use of allogenic bone is often necessary. While autografts are considered the standard, they have limitations and can lead to donor site morbidity. Consequently, there has been exploration into the feasibility of utilizing allogenic bone and bone graft replacements. Allogenic bone transplants are acquired from donors following rigorous procurement, sterile processing, and donor screening procedures. To ensure the safe storage and effective utilization of allograft material, a bone banking system is employed. Establishing and managing an orthopedic bone bank, entails navigating complex legal and medical organizational aspects. This paper examines the establishment and operation of bone banks in India, drawing upon our first-hand experience in managing one at a tertiary care center in Northern India.Level of evidence: Level IV.
