Abstract
The blood supply to bone is well described and is important to the reconstructive surgeon in the design of reliable vascularised bone suitable for transfer into defects requiring osseous replacement. Further study in this field could be directed at the implications of the pattern of bone flap vascularity on reconstructive outcomes, the changes in bone vascularity after osteotomy and the existence of “true” and “choke” anastomoses in cortical bone.
