Mexico

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics and Regenerative Medicine
  • Biomaterials Science
  • Public Health and Transplantation

Background:

  • Presents 4 years of tissue banking activity in Mexico.
  • Highlights the growing need for allografts in the country.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail tissue banking experiences and allograft utilization in Mexico.
  • To analyze bone retrieval data and bacterial contamination rates.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of bone retrievals and allograft provision from February 2001 to August 2004.
  • Inclusion of data on tissue donors, retrieved tissues, and patient utilization.

Main Results:

  • 100 bone donors yielded 1,107 tissues, with an average bacterial contamination rate of 22.58%.

  • 4,493 allografts were utilized by 3,643 patients, primarily in orthopedic (62%) and dental (30%) procedures.
  • Morcellized cancellous bone (31%), pulverized bone (25%), and bone chips (20%) were the most common allograft types.

    • Conclusions:

    • The sustained increase in allograft utilization signifies a substantial need in Mexico.
    • Growing public awareness has positively impacted tissue donation and retrieval rates.
