Do they test for deseases when selling to the Different Hospitals Cadaver's Bones to be used as bone replaceme

Question

Do They test all Cadaver's Bones before selling them to Hospitals to be used as Bone Replacements or Bone Grafts?

Answer 1

They test the doners. I intend to donate my body when I'm gone.

Answer 2

Remember the story about 6 months ago. There were morticians selling body parts to graft companies. (They got caught) I remember one of the leg bones came from a person who has metastatic prostate cancer. The grafting supple company can test for germs and such but what about cancer. Sort of makes you wonder if you want to use a cadaveric acl on your next acl repair.

Answer 3

Yes they are supposed to test for any thing but they did have a big thing a few months ago that they found some places that had sold them with out permission and they had not been tested.

Answer 4

The answer is definitely yes they do. Very extensively.

From past experience with some bad infections, it is evn scrutinized more closely by different agencies to make sure they do.

Answer 5

Common sense would dictate that they run many tests for deseases prior to allowing body tissue to be used for transplantation.
The answer would be yes

Answer 6

Well they didn't test mine!!!
I got a notice from the FDA
Had to get all kinds of scary tests done!!

Answer 7

There are not very many pathogens that can be found in bone, and typically they are sterilized, so I wouldn't worry about anything.

Answer 8

Yes, very extensively

Answer 9

I believe it's the law.
