In Poland there is growing demand for biostatic allogeneic bone transplantation mostly for traumatologic operations and orthopedic reconstructions. The bone material is primarily harvested during postmortem examinations in forensic and pathology laboratories. Nevertheless, the collected amounts are not sufficient, so that material needs to be acquired from alternative sources, such as multiorgan donors. Between 1998 and 2003, 2331 potential donors were registered by the Transplantation Coordinating Center in Warsaw, which was adjusted to 1794 donors who would have been accepted as donors of the bone tissue. Unfortunately, due to denials from family members and public prosecutors, the sample was only 1416 donors, which would cover about 40% of the clinical orthopedic demand in Poland.
