چکیده
PURPOSE To compare three sterilization methods (autoclave, gamma irradiation and ethylene oxide) over non demineralized lyophilized bone allografts. METHODS Bone allografts were implanted on paravertebral muscles of 21 rats. After 30 days animals were sacrificed and grafts underwent comparative analysis regarding histomorphometric and macroscopic parameters. RESULTS Allografts that underwent the three sterilization methods presents similar weight gain, cortical thickness similar to control group, and less fibrosis than the control group. Grafts that underwent sterilization in autoclave presented less presence of multinucleated giant cells, although not statistically significant. There was also no statistically significant difference regarding mineralization on the three groups. CONCLUSION The three sterilization methods cause similar effects on bone allografts regarding macroscopic and histomorphometric parameters.

versus ethylene oxide (ETO) sterilization on the mechanical strength of cortical bone grafts. Tibias were collected from cadavers of mature goats. Sixty test specimens were randomized into four groups : fresh (no processing), frozen (freezing at –70°C), gamma-irradiated, and ETO-sterilized specimens. Torsion, three-point bending, and compression testing were separately performed with a material...

Musculoskeletal allografts have been used extensively for a variety of orthopaedic procedures. Allograft does have the potential, however, to transmit a variety of pathogens. Two current sterilization methods widely used in the tissue banking industry are ethylene oxide (ETO) treatment and gamma irradiation. ETO has been shown to adversely affect the biologic incorporation of allograft tissue. ...

Serial roentgenograms of 40 patients who had 70 cervical intervertebral spaces grafted with ethylene oxide sterilized cadaver bone and 28 patients who received 44 iliac crest auto grafts for anterior cervical spine fusion, were studied. The radiological evaluation was made on the basis of settlement of intervertebral spaces, fusion rate, delayed union, non-union, graft collapse and extrusion of...
متن کاملGamma Irradiated Soft Tissue Allografts are Biomechanically Equivalent to Aseptic, Non-Sterilized Tissues
Allograft safety is contingent on effective sterilization methods such as gamma irradiation. However, recent clinical studies have associated gamma irradiation with decreased graft strength and increased allograft failure rates, despite data that shows no deleterious effects to soft tissue biomechanics at gamma doses between 1.46 and 2.18 mRad. The objective of this study was to compare the bio...
