Regional bone banks collected 1944 surgical bone grafts, with a 30% discard rate primarily due to medical history and infectious disease screening. Most grafts were used for hip revision, spinal fusion, and fracture repair.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Tissue Banking
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Surgical bone grafts are crucial for various orthopedic procedures.
  • Existing bone banking models include institutional and community-hospital-based programs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To survey regional programs involved in surgical bone graft collection, storage, and distribution.
  • To assess the practices and outcomes of regional bone banking initiatives.

Main Methods:

  • Survey of 12 regional bone programs.
  • Analysis of graft collection, storage, distribution, and discard data over approximately one year.
  • Identification of reasons for graft discard.

Main Results:

  • 1944 surgical bone grafts, predominantly femoral heads, were collected.

  • Overall discard rate was 30%, with unacceptable medical history (34.0%) and positive infectious disease screening (Hepatitis B surface antigen 3.4%, HIV antibodies 1.2%) being primary reasons.
  • 87% of utilized grafts were for revision hip surgery, spinal fusions, and nonunited fracture treatment.

    • Conclusions:

    • Regional bone banking programs demonstrate practices similar to institutional programs.
    • Regional programs offer a viable alternative model for surgical bone banking.
    • Effective screening protocols are essential for maintaining graft viability and safety.
