[Transplantation of periosteum-coated cortical and cancellous bone grafts for treatment of fractures and pseudarthrosis (author's transl)].

Abstract

Bone grafts are used in the treatment of fractures just as in the treatment of atrophic pseudarthroses of long tube bones. Only autologous bone graft is a reliable transplantation material. The discussion about different values of cancellous grafts and cortical-cancellous grafts is not completed yet. It will be reported about the own results of 110 transplantations of fresh and ununited fractures of long tube bones between 1968--1975. Only the autologous cortical-cancellous periosteum-coated single graft was used.
