“…[21] The disadvantages of allograft include a resorption rate substantially higher than that of autologous tissue, the necessity for immunosuppressive pharmacotherapy, and potential risk of viral transmission. [22][23][24] Xenograft mainly includes collagen membrane, porcine sclera, porcine skin gelatin/gelfilm, bovine bone or sclera. It is only rarely used for the repair of orbital fractures because of the association with disease transmission, immunological transplant rejection, and unpredictable and high resorption rates in spite of a reduction in operative time and lack of donor site morbidity.…”

Posttraumatic orbital reconstruction has been a challenging mission for decades in craniomaxillofacial surgery. Complications like enophthalmos, diplopia and gaze obstacles emerge when orbital trauma occurs, affecting people's daily life as well as their appearance. Advances in technology and research gained through years of experience has provided us with a greater understanding of the changes following trauma, as well as providing us with a variety of filling materials that we can choose from to handle the deformities. However, the best type of material for repair of orbital deformities remains controversial. This paper reviewed approximately 60 articles discussing materials used in orbital reconstruction or soft tissue defect filling in the past years, with the aim of giving a comprehensive overview of the advantages and disadvantages of materials used in this field so as to help surgeons to make a better choice.

“…In Europe, and especially in Germany, the most widely distributed method of supplying allogenic bone grafts is internal hospital bone banks (Aho et al 1998;Hart et al 1986;Ivory and Thomas 1993;Meermans et al 2007;Nather and David 2007;Schreurs et al 2003;Sutherland et al 1997). Femoral heads retrieved during primary hip arthroplasty procedures are usually stored in a fresh-frozen fashion.…”

Infections after bone allograft surgery: a prospective study by a hospital bone bank using frozen femoral heads from living donors

In the advent of the EU guidelines 2004/23/EG and 2006/17/EG requiring extensive safety and quality steps in bone banking, the prevalence and risk of infection disease transmission from bone allograft needs to be reconsidered. Therefore, we prospectively reviewed the screening process of bone donations and the outcome of surgeries utilizing bone allografts from our internal hospital bone bank with regard to infections according to CDC criteria. One-hundred and eighty-eight allogenic bone transplantation procedures in 160 patients were followed-up for 12-64 months (mean 32 months). Bacterial infection occurred in 11 patients, the overall infection rate therefore was 6.9%. After review of the clinical and intraoperative findings, none of the infections were likely to have been caused by the bone graft. Although no follow-up serologic testing was performed, no HIV of hepatitis infections were observed. Frozen bone allografts derived from live donors and provided by hospitals can generally be considered safe. However, without new and relevant clinical expertise, continuing this technique will be impeded by the new EU guidelines and their national implementations.
