Abstract
The extent to which bone grafts survive after free transplantation depends entirely on the rapidity with which the blood supply to the graft is re-established. In the first place, therefore, it is the vascularization at the site of transplantation which plays an important role in the survival of the graft. On the other hand, the rate of vessel ingrowth is determined by the structure and intrinsic architecture of the transplant itself. In order to fully understand the events accompanying the transplantation of bone, it is essential to review some of the histophysiologic properties peculiar to all calcified structures.
