Abstract

Background: Orthopedic and traumatologic departments have the choice of conducting an own bone bank in which grafts are prepared and stored, or purchasing costly bone grafts from professional providers. The aim of the study was to retrospectively analyse the bone bank affiliated with the traumatology department in the ten-year time period from 2001-2010. Patients and Methods: Altogether 1035 patients who underwent a primary hip replacement were included as potential donors. 632 patients were treated with a coxarthritis (CA) and 403 with a femoral neck fracture (FNF). Results: The bone donation was deferred in 731 (70,6%) and conducted in 304 (29,4%) patients. The majority of the deferrals were due to the maturity (age above 75 years) of the patients and an osteoporotic bone structure of the graft. Other reasons for deferral were a positive donor history, incomplete donation documents, and previous osteosynthesis of the proximal femur or acetabulum. The rate for exclusion was significantly higher in the FNF group, which was based on the difference of age, bone structure quality, and the non-elective setting of the operative treatment. Conclusion: In summary, bone donations from urgently hospitalised patients with a FNF have a significantly higher deferral rate than electively planned patients with CA.
