Abstract
A tissue bank is an establishment that aids in retrieval, processing, storage, and distribution of human tissue for transplantation. For many years, such banks have been dispensing tissue to orthopaedic surgeons, performing reconstructive surgeries. The retrieval, preparation, and delivery of musculoskeletal tissue used for transplantation is an intricate process involving varying practices among different musculoskeletal tissue banks. Musculoskeletal allografts are used in various orthopaedic surgeries ranging from primary bone defects, trauma, and carcinoma to congenital disabilities. Every decade brings in paradigm shifts and new hope for treating challenging cases with the aid of newer devices and materials. This review article outlines various technical, regulatory and quality enhancement steps involved in tissue banking. Also, it discusses the road ahead and the research avenues for developing novel allograft products with the synergy of tissue banks and clinicians.
