Clinical application: The changing landscape in allografts
Jonathan Boyd
American Association of Tissue Banks, USA
Processing and classification of most human cell and cellular based tissue products has remained the same for decades. The basic
homologous function of transplanted osteocondrial allografts and total joint replacements utilizing allografts has fundamentally
followed suite. However, guidance from the United States Food and Drug Administration may shift some of these approaches and
the grafts which are available for implantation or transplantation. The purpose of this presentation is to review and evaluate changes
in processing, distribution, classifications and possible shift in the United States tissue banking community to medical devices and
biologics as a result of this guidance providing and developing different options in arthroplasty. The Learning Objectives and expected
outcomes of this study is to Outline previous guidance and regulation, Summarize the current options and limitations in human cell
and cellular based tissue products, to review potential changes in guidance and regulation and finally to summarize the impact and
potential changes to arthroplastic allograft application
