Abstract

Cortical segmental autografts and allografts have been used in the surgical reconstruction of large musculoskeletal defects. The use of allografts is an attractive alternative to autografts and metal implants because of their ready availability, their capacity to have soft tissues become attached to them, and their relative clinical usefulness in combination with implant devices. However, approximately 15%–25% of large allografts seem to be compromised by an apparent immunogenic disparity between donor tissues and the recipient.
