title: [Histomorphology of healing of fractures, splits, and defects in the cranial bones].
abstract: The histomorphology of healing of fractures in the calvarial bones were studied: 39 autopsies and 61 bioptic samples were investigated within the time span ranging from 1 to 5 years; as well as 32 experiments with dogs were made. A tight contact between fracture edges is the key condition for fracture healing (of the mentioned bones) through central callus. Should there be no such contact, the fracture edges were joined by fibrous tissue, which lacks any osseous structures. The periosteum of the internal bone lamella and the adjoining dura mater of brain are the main sources for bone regeneration in the calvarium.
