Abstract

A survey is given of the development of tissue banking in Estonia during40 years, in which we address methods of tissue preservation, application ofpreserved skeletal tissues in orthopaedics as well as issues of clinical andexperimental research in this area. Preparation and use of demineralized andmorselized bone allografts has been significant during the last ten years.Progress of endoprosthetic joint surgery has essentially increased the need forbone transplantation in orthopaedics.
