Who can join

Age: 12 and older, up to 80. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Patients twelve years or older who are scheduled for massive fresh-frozen human structural bone allograft implantation at participating centers will be given the opportunity to participate in the study. All patients must have a reconstruction of the involved long bone with either an intercalary graft, an osteoarticular graft, or an allograft/endoprosthesis composite graft. The junction or union site studied will be the cortical-cortical, host allograft junction site, not the cancellous interfaces.

You may not qualify if…

• Patients who do not require major weight bearing cortical allograft bone grafts will be excluded. Also, women who are or could potentially become pregnant will be excluded from the study.
