Abstract:
Bony deficiency, particularly loss of bone stock associated with failed joint replacements or tumours, is a challenging problem in orthopaedic surgery. Bone transplantation techniques provide solutions that can be tailored to the clinical problem. However, the risks of bone transplantation are well documented and the biology of allograft incorporation remains unpredictable and poorly understood.
