Bone allografts of femoral heads: procurement and storage
WW Tomford, JE Ploetz and HJ Mankin
Orthopaedists are increasingly using femoral heads as bone grafts, which
can be easily stored by freezing without elaborate equipment and with
minimum personnel involved. Our experience has shown that if standard
sterile techniques are followed in procurement and storage, an abundant
supply of useful allografts can be ensured.
