Bone grafts have been used extensively for the reconstruction of skeletal injury in dogs. Cancellous and corticocancellous chip autografts are used for their osteoinductive and osteoconductive properties. Fresh, fresh-frozen, freeze-dried, and ethylene oxide-sterilized cortical allografts have been

Abstract
Bernard O'Brien was one of the pioneers of vascularized epiphyseal plate transfer. His clear understanding of the wide array of potential applications for reconstructive microsurgery stimulated his interest in the transfer of growing long bones. Investigations have been carried out in his laboratory since the earliest days of skeletal free tissue transfers. This paper describes the work done with epiphyseal plate transfers in O'Brien's laboratory. Research from other centers is then reviewed. Finally, the experience with clinical application is described. Β© 1994 WileyβLiss, Inc.

## Abstract Conventional methods for the treatment of congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT) often lead to unsatisfactory results and so microsurgical fibula transfer (MFT) has appeared as an option to treat this challenging problem. In this series of 27 patients with CPT, we obtained satisf
## Abstract A total of 150 immature and young adult skeletons from the medieval necropolis at Mistihalj, in southern Yugoslavia, were aged by the standard methods: dentition, osseous development, and extent of vertebral union. The development of the occipital bone was examined in 117 cases to deter
