title: Bone graft viability in vascularized bone graft transfer.
abstract: Five cases of vascularized bone grafts were analysed to determine viability using angiography 6-8 weeks after surgery and radionuclide bone imaging 8-10 weeks after surgery. The results were comparable to each other and to clinical progress. Both examinations were considered useful in assessment of these cases.
