Abstract
Three groups of rabbits were studied to investigate the osteogenic capacity of vascularized periosteum. It was found that such tissue, especially in the form of musculoperiosteal flaps, produced a significant amount of bone. It is concluded that vascularized periosteal flaps have an excellent osteogenic capacity even though they are not subjected to weight or stress.Keywords
