Transformation of a prefabricated hydroxyapatite/osteogenic protein-1 implant into a vascularised pedicled bone flap in the human chest

We describe the intramuscular transformation of a hydroxyapatite/osteogenic protein-1 (HA/OP-1) composite implant, into a vascularised pedicled bone flap useful for reconstruction of a hemi-mandible. Extraskeletal induction of a bone flap for transplantation was achieved without the addition of harv...
