Abstract

Bone grafts have been used in orthopedic reconstructive procedures for over a hundred years. Use of autografts is considered to be the ideal choice, but limited availability and associated complications makes their use unfeasible in all orthopedic reconstructive procedures. Alternatives such as allografts and bone graft substitutes were introduced in 1980’s. Although the use of bone allografts in U.S.A has increased over the last few years, compilation of data to quantify their utilization is still lacking. We performed a retrospective chart review study to quantify the bone allograft utilization in laminectomies and discectomies performed at Beaumont Hospital Royal Oak between October 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017.
