An evaluation of the long-term survival rate of 25 osteoarticular allografts was made. Clinical analysis was based on the Mankin scale and the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) Grading system. After a mean follow-up time of 15 years 76% of the osteoarticular allografts had good or excellent rating. The MSTS scale revealed a mean score of 89% for those 20 grafts still functioning according to their primary purpose. Allograft related complications occurred in 32% of the cases being most common among malignant cases. Due to the rather good long-term results, osteoarticular allografts can still be recommended for hemicondylar allograft reconstruction in benign lesions.
