Audit of the Douglas Hocking Research Institute bone bank: ten years of non-irradiated bone graft.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:An audit performed in the use of non-irradiated femoral head bone graft at the Geelong Hospital over a 10-year period. While it is thought the non-irradiated bone graft provides a better structural construct there is theoretical increased risk of infection transmission. METHODS:We performed a retrospective review of prospectively collected data in the use of non-irradiated bone allograft used from the Geelong Hospital Douglas Hocking Research Institute bone bank over a 10-year period. The review was performed using data collected from the bone bank and correlating it with the patient's medical record. All complications, including infections, related to the use of the allograft were recorded. RESULTS:We found that over the 10 years to 2004 that 811 femoral heads were donated, with 555 being used over 362 procedures in 316 patients. We identified a total of nine deep infections, of which seven were in joint replacements. Overall this was a 2.5% deep infection rate, which was lowered to 1.4% if the previously infected joints that were operated on were excluded. CONCLUSION:The use of non-irradiated femoral head bone graft was safe in a regional setting.
