Osteogenesis from periosteal autografts in ulnar defects in dogs.
The quantity of new bone formed by revascularized periosteal grafts was compared with that formed by nonvascularized periosteal grafts in ulnar diaphyseal defects in dogs. Although in general the revascularized periosteal grafts produced a greater quantity of bone than their nonvascularized counterparts, this osteogenic behavior was not consistent. The results, however, are sufficiently encouraging to merit further investigation into the free transfer of revascularized periosteal autografts.
