Abstract
Advances in tissue processing technology have been important for the successful use of bone allografts. The challenge is to prepare allografts that are well cleaned, sterile, and free of viruses while still preserving the natural biologic and biomechanical properties of the tissue. This article discusses how processing techniques aimed at achieving safety and sterility can affect the properties vital for graft incorporation and healing.
