Are bone grafts safe?
In one word, Yes! As long as the bone is procured from tissue banks that are accredited by the American Association of Quality Assurance. They check to assure the quality and safety of the material. All donors are screened for medical, social, and family histories. Blood samples are tested using some of the most complicated and technically advanced tests available today. Acceptable tissue is recovered by trained medical personnel under strict and sterile conditions. The actual processing of the tissue has been shown to inactivate several viruses including HIV. So you can be assured of a surgical sterile product that has never been shown to transmit an infection or cause an immunologic response.
