Axially vascularized bone substitutes: a systematic review of literature and presentation of a novel model
2012
Introduction
The creation of axially vascularized bone substitutes (AVBS) has been successfully demonstrated in several animal models. One prototypical indication is bone replacement in patients with previously irradiated defect sites, such as in the mandibular region. The downside of current clinical practice, when free fibular or scapular grafts are used, is the creation of significant donor site morbidity.
