ABSTRACT
Allografts are the second most transplanted tissue in medicine after blood and are now increasingly used for both primary and revision surgery. Allografts have the advantages of lower donor site morbidity, availability of multiple grafts, and shorter operative time. The Banks represents the bridge between Donor and Recipient and guarantees the quality and safety of the distributed allografts Given the increasing interest in these tissues, a retrospective analysis of data collected from the Regional Musculoskeletal Tissue Bank registry over an 11-year period (2009-2019) was conducted. The statistical analyses used were the Shapiro-Wilk normality test and a Poisson regression model. From January 2009 to December 2019, a total of 14,199 musculoskeletal tissues stored in the Regional Musculoskeletal Tissue Bank were provided for surgical allograft procedures. In 2009, the number of allografts performed was 925; this figure has steadily increased to 1599 in 2019. Epiphyses were taken as the reference tissue with an almost constant trend over the period, while a significant increase was denoted for extensor mechanism allograft, ligaments, tendons and long bone corticals (p < 0.001), processed bone tissues had no change in trend (p = 0.841). There was also a gradual decrease in the rate of microbiological positivity, as determined by bacteriological and serological tests performed on the collected tissues. This phenomenon is due to improved sampling techniques and the training of a dedicated team. Thus, we have seen how the use of allografts in orthopedic surgery has increased over the past 11 years, uniformly in terms of tissue type, except for the noticeable increase in ligamentous tissue.
