✦ Synopsis

Continuous monitoring of circulation in bone transfers without a skin element may be possible with a laser doppler bone probe consistent with any free tissue transfer. Immediate reintervention is necessary when vascular insufficiency is suspected. In two clinical cases of vascularized fibula transfer, we were able to compare skin probe recordings with intraosseous probe recordings. There was no apparent difference in the recordings, suggesting that the bone probe alone may be useful for monitoring bone transfers and that it warrants further study.

## Abstract ## Background and Objectives Thermal preconditioning prior to injury induces a cytoprotective effect on soft tissues and promotes their recovery. Lasers are an adequate tool to generate controlled and reproducible heat. X‐ray irradiation induces a chronic antiangiogenic effect on bone,
