SPONTANEOUS HEALING INHERENT IN TRANSPLANTED BONE

S. L. HAAS M.D.1

1 The Surgical Pathological Laboratory of Leland Stanford, Jr., University School of Medicine.

1. There is sufficient energy stored in the osteoblastic cells of a live bone transplant, placed in a muscle and removed from all osseous contact, to form a union between two fragments of a fracture produced in such a transplant.

2. Because of this very active, independent, regenerative and reparative property innate in the live bone transplant it is advisable to utilize living bone, whenever possible, for any purpose where a transplant is indicated.
