SOME ASPECTS OF CLINICAL USE OF BONE AND CARTILAGE ALLOGRAFTS
The article presents the literature data review of the existing bone and cartilage allografts. Variants of clinical application of alogenic biomaterials of bone and cartilage origin have been described. The article gives advantages and disadvantages of separate types of bone allografts depending on a type of biomaterial processing and preservation. Some data on theoretical aspects of the reparative osteogenesis during application of the above mentioned allografts have also been provided. In particular the role of cytokines and bone morphogenetic proteins contained in allogenic bone biomaterials has been noted.
