[The anatomical basis of the formation of the pedicled bone grafts on the upper extremity].

The study of the vascular bed of the upper extremities was performed by the method of anatomical preparation of 24 formalin-fixed cadaver specimens from 5 men and 7 women and by the injection of black latex into the arterial bed of 4 male and 4 female cadavers (16 specimens). The arteries, directly feeding the bones, and the arteries that provide blood supply to the muscles, attached to the bones, were studied. M.

[Formation of vascularized bone grafts and their use for treatment of pseudoarthroses and bone defects].

An analysis of 135 transplant surgeries of vascularised bone grafts in treatment of pseudoarthroses and defects of the clavicle, humerous, ulnar, radial, metacarpal,wrist and fingers bones was made. The fusion was noticed in 130 operated patients. The earlier removal of immobilization (in 2), the repeated trauma (in 2) and osteomyelitis of the transplanted graft, which required its removal in 1 patient, were the causes of failure in 5 (3.
