Popis: For a long time the use of bone grafting has demonstrated its interest in orthopedic surgery and traumatology. The autografts which are still very frequently used present various problems. On the one hand, it is necessary to find a correct mechanical quality and a sufficient quantity of bone. On the other hand, the graft removal lengthens the operative time and generally painful in postoperative. These disadvantages of autografts have led to the development of bone allografts. Indeed, the low immunogenic power of the bone, the good integration of the graft and the ease of bone preservation techniques make it possible to overcome the various problems posed by bone autografts. The increasing use of bone allografts has resulted in the need for a structure allowing the management of graft stocks. The purpose of this work is to demonstrate the mode of operation of a bone bank, whose conservation activity is limited to the femoral heads treated by cryopreservation and without secondary sterilization process. The bank collaborates with all orthopedic surgeons in the Rabat and Casablanca city at first and then with all orthopedic surgeons in Morocco. It provides allografts in quality and safety.
