Summary
The development of bone after perichondrial grafting was investigated using rabbit ear and rib perichondrium. Sixty-four white adult female rabbits were used. Both free and vascularised perichondrial grafts were undertaken. In each case the chondrogenic potential of perichondrium was proved. Furthermore, when the perichondrium was vascularised or grafted in recipient sites having good blood circulation, the development of large areas of bone was observed around the regenerated cartilage.
