title: Facial bone healing and bone grafts. A review of clinical physiology.
abstract: The physiology of bone healing, regeneration, and bone transfer is discussed from the dual perspectives of basic physiology and the application to clinical situations of bone transfer. Recommendations are made regarding clinical applications for the site, orientation, and fixation of grated materials. Rationale for the use of vascularized transfers is presented.
