Revascularized periosteum transplantations.
A controlled experiment was performed in 56 African pygmy goats, analyzing the bone-forming capacity of two different revascularized periosteum grafts in midshaft tibial defects. At radiological examination revascularized tibial periosteum grafts firmly bridged the defect within 8 weeks, revascularized costal periosteum grafts did not.
