Abstract

Specific anatomical and pathological criteria for resectability of so-called central chondrosarcoma of the extremities were set forth and a method of treatment based on autoclaving the segment and surrounding it with massive amounts of fresh autogenous cancellous bone was used in eight patients. Follow-up ranged from 3.2 to 13.5 years. The advantages of the method are: ease of procurement of bone graft, absence of storage and measurement problems, and lack of need for rigid immobilization. No secondary procedures were required because of fracture, resorption, or infection.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
