The irradiated allogenic bone seems to be at least equal to the deep f
rozen allograft with regard to its integration behavior, definitely su
perior to the autoclaved allogenic bone. Because of the loss of diseas
e transmission by irradiation with 30 kGy and the persisting osteoindu
ction this type of bone graft could gain importance for revision surge
ry due to massive bone defects [2, 6].
