Surgical Revascularization in Structural Orthotopic Bone Allograft Increases Bone Remodeling

摘要

BackgroundOsseous defects reconstructed with cryopreserved structural allografts are poorly revascularized and therefore are prone to nonunion, infection, deterioration of mechanical properties, and fracture. Whether this can be mitigated by specific interventions such as intramedullary surgical revascularization has been incompletely evaluated.
