A few days ago, Home Minister Amit Shah inaugurated the bone bank of Krishna Shelby Hospital near Ghuma in Ahmedabad. How did you get the idea of ​​starting this bone bank in your mind? What are the benefits of bone bank? The biggest thing is that with the introduction of this bone bank, patients will not have many benefits but many benefits. What is the bone conservation process?

Question: How did you get the idea of ​​starting this bone bank? Answer: Dr. Vikram Shah said that I saw a bone bank in America? I noticed how they preserved and used bones. When bone is not available in case of joint replacement, cancer or teeth, a particular type of transplant has to be used. If special types of transplants are used, the cost of treatment will increase and natural bone will not be available. Also, there will be more trouble in the future revision. That is why I thought why not set up a bone bank in Ahmedabad.
Question: Can a hospital benefit from bones deposited in bone bank? Answer: Yes, this is also the purpose of this bone bank. Protected bones in our hospital can be used in other patients. Like AIIMS, Vellore, the Tata Memorial Hospital runs an internal bone bank. However, bones are not given to other hospitals. I thought that if I could provide bone to orthopedic surgeons, cancer surgeons or dentists, many patients would benefit. With this thinking, we decided to build a bone bank and include all doctors in it, so that they could treat their patients better.
Question: What type of bones are stored in the bone bank? Answer: In response to this question, Group COO Dr. Nishita Shukla said- Two types of bones are preserved in the bone bank. One, fresh frozen bones. Second, dry bones. Wet bones have to be kept in a refrigerator with a minus 80 degree temperature. While dry bones can also be kept in ordinary cupboards. Both bones are usually preserved for three months. It has to be thrown if not used within three months.
The bones are placed in a minus 60 degree cabinet in the bone bank.
Question: What is the process of bone conservation and bone donation in bone bank Answer: Talking about the bone bank process, Dr. Nishita Shukla said that if a patient is admitted to our hospital and after orthopedic surgery, a bone comes out of his body, then the patient’s consent to deposit it in the bone bank Is taken. Its form is filled. In this, the name of the patient’s name, age, bone is removed, all the information is available. This bone is taken to the operation theater by the staff of the bone bank. There is a bone bank in the underground floor of Krishna Shelby Hospital. The bones are brought up and placed in a cabinet of minus 60 degrees in the first bone bank. The bone is sent for further procedure only when the patient has no infection or other disease.
Bones are reserved after long cleaning process Blood and tissue sticks to the bones extracted by surgery. First it has to be cleaned. After the bone is cleaned, it is cut as required. After cutting, it is poured into a shaker water bath machine and shaking for three hours, so that the germs present in the bones die. There are small holes inside the bones. Even if there are viruses or bacteria inside it, they come out. After moving for three hours, the ultrasonicate is kept in the machine and chemical processing is done for three hours.
After chemical spray, the bone becomes completely clean and germ free. The ultrasonicator was washed with distilled water after cleaning the machine. Then there is a biocepherd cabinet in another room. In this, bones are sterilized. The packing machine is placed inside this cabinet. So the first packing is done inside after sterilizing. The bones are packed and sent to the radiation center. After the procedure there, bones return. The bone is useable after the radiation process.
Krishna Shelby Hospital is located near Ghuma in Ahmedabad.
Record is kept according to medical protocol When the doctor needs a bone while performing the operation, the staff packs the bones and goes to the operation theater. He goes in and opens the first pack and the doctor lifts the bone with the help of tweezers and fit into the patient. Just as the form is filled while taking the bone of the patient, in the same way, in any patient, his consent is taken and a separate form is filled. Each bone packing is numbered. Its measurement, weight, bone, whose, who gave it, all these records are fed in the computer. According to this medical protocol, records are maintained.
Cancer surgery, dental surgery also requires bones Not only hands and feet, bones are needed in every part of the body. Suppose, if someone has mouth cancer and the jaw is rotten, one side of the jaw will have to be removed. That is why the face of the cancer patient is distorted after removing the jaw. To prevent this from happening, a bone has to be placed near the jaw so that the facial balance remains. Therefore, jaw bones are not commercially available. These bones can be obtained from this type of bone bank.
