Donor Age Criteria: Are Allografts From Younger Donors Better?
Allograft tissues have been used for clinical sports medicine applications since the mid-1980s. Human allograft tissue offers several distinct advantages over autografts including shorter operative times, reduced surgical morbidity, decreased post-operative pain and improved cosmesis. As a result, musculoskeletal allograft tissue is increasingly being used for orthopedic applications. Allografts for sports medicine applications are recovered from a variety of sites and include mainly the patellar tendon, the semitendinosus tendon, the tibialis tendon (both anterior and posterior), the peroneus longus tendon, the gracilis tendon and the Achilles tendon.
