Abstract:

BACKGROUND: With increase in bone sources and improvement in related technology, bone bank has been widely accepted all over the world.
OBJECTIVE: To introduce the history, features, technical process and development trends of bone bank.
METHODS: A computer-based retrieval of PubMed and CNKI database to search the manuscripts regarding bone allograft and bone bank and summarized. Manuscripts that describe the features, formation and development of bone bank were included. Those with repetitive contents, reviews, and scientific analysis were excluded.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: A total of 185 manuscripts were retrieved. After excluding non-related or repetitive manuscripts, 18 manuscripts were included in the final analysis. Compared with epoxyethane fumigation, irradiation sterilization acquires more ideal effects. Meanwhile, some studies abroad showed that the infection rate of non-irradiation sterilized bone were comparable to irradiation sterilized bone. Small-scale bone banks are difficult to achieve the auditing standards of American Association of Tissue Banks and European Association of Tissue Banks, Therefore, they will be merged into large-scale tissue banks. It is necessary to establish a standardized management system and intact core technology in bone banks. Bone bank has a great potential to well develop, and it is expected to achieve a better development in medical application.
