title: Reaction of the periosteum to subperiosteal implantation of a foreign body.
abstract: Early cellular reactions of tibial periosteum following its mechanical ablation from the bone surface were studied in white female rabbits. Sterile capron nets were implanted subperiosteally thus obtaining a model of aseptic inflammation. Seven stages in the morphological picture of the reactive process were differentiated. THe chronology, cytomorphology and cytophysiology of the stages were established by studying the cellular reactions in the reactive exfoliation field. Using this experimental setting we show the peculiarities of periosteal reaction in an intact and a broken bone.
