Abstract
ABSTRACTA comparative clinical and histological study was made of the effects of autogenous cancellous grafts on the rate of healing of homogenous cortical bone grafts in dogs: their right foreleg received homogenous bone grafts and their left foreleg received pre‐drilled homogenous bone grafts filled with autogenous cancellous bone. Histologically, the use of homogenous cortical grafts with pre‐drilled holes and autogenous cancellous bone appeared to accelerate reorganization and development of these grafts. This was seen particularly 1–2 months post‐operatively and at nine months when the graft in the left leg was made up of spongy bone marrow; whereas the right leg graft still contained compact dead bone and the marrow was filled with fibrous tissue.
