Abstract
✓ The author states that sterile frozen cadaver bone has proven to be a superior bone graft for anterior (interbody) fusion operations on the spine. An adequate supply of good quality bone is necessary, and a bone bank can be an important and reliable source. The author reviews his 22-year experience with bone banks and gives details for their creation, operation, and maintenance.Keywords
