Abstract
The risks of HIV viral transmission by blood transfusion or by bone tr ansplantation during planned surgical orthopaedic procedures has been studied from French epidemiological data on the subject. The authors o utline methods which may be used to reduce these risks: planned auto-t ransfusion of blood, serological assessment of a donor and quarantine of allograft material. Finally, the authors have examined the risks of contamination of the surgical team during an operation.
