Title
Bone banking in Thailand: A 10-year experience (1984-1994)
The tissue bank of the Bangkok Biomaterial Center was initiated in Thailand in 1984, and the first 10 years of progress are summarized. Three hundred ninety-seven cadavers and sixteen living donors provided a total of 13,676 hone and soft tissue allografts. They were used by 134 surgeons in 44 hospitals. A total of 1178 patients were surgically treated (581 males and 486 females). There were 240 cases of deep-frozen bone allografts, 600 cases of freeze-dried bone allografts, and 338 cases of soft tissue allografts. The results for 1035 cases (95.3%) were normal, whereas the results for 51 cases (4.33%) showed complications.
