Abstract

Seven patients who were treated with human bone allograft transplantations over the past 10 years were evaluated clinically. The average age was 31.4 years (range from 2 to 69 years).Two patients were treated by spinal fusion, two bone defects due to bone tumor and trauma, one congenital pseudoarthrosis, and two with THR and revision. Freezed-dried bone was transplanted in two patients, frozen bone in four patients, and fresh bone in one patient.These results suggest that freezed-dried bone is useful for relatively narrow bone defects and vascularized bone allograft will be useful in the near future.We are eager for the establishment of a regional bone bank system.
