Bone vascularized composite allotransplantation model in swine tibial defect: Evaluation of surgical angiogenesis and transplant viability

ConclusionImplantation of autogenous AV bundles into vascularized bone allotransplants resulted in the rapid formation of a neoangiogenic autogenous blood supply in a swine tibia model that maintained bone viability, improved bone healing, and minimized rejection.
