Abstract
Background
The role of bone and tissue banking is well known to meet the ever-growing need of bone and soft tissue allografts. Strict guidelines have been established to ensure high standard and minimize complications related to bone transplantation.
Methods
The Bone Bank in King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre (KFSH&RC), affiliated with the Saudi Council of Organ Transplantation, was inaugurated in 2010, and it has since been an integral part of the KFSH&RC organ retrieval team. The bank has a very strict regulations which were described.
Results
Between January 2010 and January 2020, there were 143 multi-organ donors (mean age: 36 years, range: 24–55 years). The total number of allografts used was 2191 which were utilized in 1047 patients.
Conclusions
In this paper, we present our 10-year experience of administrative structure, donor and recipient testing protocols, allograft retrieval, processing procedures, and the internal audit safety arrangements. The utilization of allografts in various pathologies such as revision joint replacement, spine surgery, and tumor surgery is discussed with our results over a 10-year period.
