Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: The Purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of allogenic bone graft which was taken from bone materials during total knee arthroplasty.
Materials and Methods: From September 2008 to March 2010, 100 patients who had bone fracture or bone diseases underwent fresh frozen allogenic bone graft. 94 patients from 100 were followed more than 1 year. The knee slices obtained during total knee arthroplasty were stored with each donor’s information according to the bone bank’s procedure. Patients with serious bone-related diseases or inflammations were excluded. The diagnosis, graft site, the presence of bony union or any complications were analyzed retrospectively for patients who required bone graft.
Results: 93 cases showed successful radiological bony union; there was 1 case of complication due to an infection while the results for 6 cases could not be confirmed due to failure of followup. The average time required for bony union was 17.7±9.6 weeks, taking into account the time for radiological bony union. None of the 94 cases showed complication.
Conslusion: According to our study with 94 cases of fresh frozen allogenic bone graft, it is speculated that using bone material after bone resection during total knee arthroplasty would be reasonably safe and practical; however, more research is required to support this hypothesis.
