[Autogeneic and allogeneic bone tissue transplantation in the profession of orthopedics]

In the time between 1981 to 1987 about 9,190 operations had been performed at the Orthopaedic Department of the Humboldt University Charité Berlin. In 1592 cases (= 17.3%) we transplanted autogeneic or allogeneic bone tissues. We report about the kind and selection of transplanted bone tissue with respect to availability and target function.
