Homogenous Epiphyseal-Cartilage Grafts

An Experimental Study

Monroe Schneider M.D.1

1 Orthopaedic Service, Mt. Sinai Hospital, New York

1. Epiphyseal cartilage from newborn rabbits was transplanted into complete segmental bony defects made in the shaft of the radius of a young rabbit. The healing process was studied roentgenographically and histologically, the opposite forelimb having been used as a control.

2. Most of the cartilage transplants showed typical endochondral ossification.

3. The rate of bone formation in the grafted limb was slow when compared to the rate of healing in the control limb in which no grafting material was placed in the bony defect in the radius.
