Abstract
In locations in which perfusion from surrounding bone may be limited (ie, proximal scaphoid or proximal lunate reconstruction), articular reconstruction using vascularized osteochondral flaps will yield superior cartilage organization and architecture than nonvascularized osteochondral grafts. The clinical and functional relevance of this finding requires further study.
