Osteomyelitis - Tissue - Live Donors

Essential information

Obligatory

1. Must not donate if:
   1. Less than two years from completing treatment and cure.
   2. Has chronic sinus.
2. Exclude:
   Previously affected bone.

Discretionary

If two years from completing treatment and cure, unaffected bone may be accepted.

Reason for change:

Sometimes it is difficult to be certain that all infection has been eliminated. Waiting two years minimises the risk of any infection being passed on by a donation.
