The use of human organs and tissues for transplantation in Australia has increased significantly over the past 30 years. In 1997, the Australian Coordinating Committee on Organ Registries and Donation (ACCORD) reported a total number of 190 organ donors, 636 corneal donors and 1509 bone donors Australia wide. Of the 1509 bone donations, 143 came from cadaveric sources and 1366 were made by living donors. Bone transplantation is not as widely recognised as solid organ or corneal transplantation. Due to improved technology and surgical skills, the demand for bone transplantation has increased markedly. This Clinical Update will provide an overview of the physiological aspects of bone transplantation and explore bone banking, a key step in the complex and critical process of bone transplantation.
在过去30年里，澳大利亚用于移植的人体器官和组织的使用量显著增加。1997年，澳大利亚器官登记与捐赠协调委员会（ACCORD）报告称，全澳大利亚共有190名器官捐赠者、636名角膜捐赠者和1509名骨捐赠者。在这1509例骨捐赠中，143例来自尸体来源，1366例由活体捐赠者提供。骨移植不像实体器官或角膜移植那样广为人知。由于技术和手术技能的提高，骨移植的需求显著增加。本临床最新资讯将概述骨移植的生理方面，并探讨骨库，这是骨移植复杂且关键过程中的一个关键步骤。
