Fresh frozen allograft reconstruction has been used for a long time in massive bone loss in orthopedic surgery. Allografts have the advantage of being biologic reconstructions, which gives them durability. Despite a greater number of complications in the short term, after 5 years these stabilize with high rates of survival after 10 years. The rate of early complications and the need for careful management in the first years has led the orthopedic surgeon to the use of other options. However, the potential durability of this reconstruction makes this one of the best options for younger patients with high life expectancy.
