Bone allografts used for structural reconstruction after tumor resection. Sources: cadaveric donors; stored in bone banks (fresh-frozen, freeze-dried). Indications: intercalary defects, osteoarticular reconstruction. Complications: nonunion, fracture, infection, resorption. Alternatives: endoprosthesis, autograft, vascularized fibula.
