| | Vascularized Fibular Grafting for Treatment of Osteonecrosis of the Hip |
 | | The grafting procedure decreased the need for pain medication for 86% of the hips that had not been subsequently treated with an arthroplasty. | | | Due to the complexity of vascularized bone grafting, it is recommended that patients seek out surgeons who have experience with this procedure. | | | Vascularized fibular bone grafting is a fairly complex surgical procedure involving two surgical fields. |

| | eMedicine - Skin Grafting : Article by Donald Grande, MD |
| | Although the use of skin grafts is indicated primarily in reconstruction after surgical excision of malignancies, skin grafting has several other applications and considerations. | | | Generally, skin grafting is used when, in the opinion of the reconstructive surgeon, other methods of reconstruction such as primary closure, second-intention healing, or local skin flaps are inappropriate, are unavailable, or would produce a suboptimal result. | | | Today, skin grafting is commonly used in dermatologic surgery. |

| | Routinely, medical discoveries derived from observation of clinicopathologic anomalies are attributed to laboratory experimentation. | | | Although Oliver's hypothesis--derived from human investigations--provided the rationale for the experiments on dogs, medical historians have generally credited Schafer with the role of pioneer endocrinologist, highlighting the animal experiments and minimizing the contribution of the observations of humans that preceded them. | | | Historians have generally failed to recognize the clinical origins of medical discovery. |

| | The incision in the chest or the graft site (if the graft was from the leg or arm) can be itchy, sore, numb, or bruised. | | | After the patient is anesthetized and completely free from pain, the heart surgeon makes an incision in the middle of the chest and separates the breastbone. | | | In the traditional surgery, the patient is connected to the heart-lung machine, or bypass pump, which adds oxygen to the blood and circulates blood to other parts of the body during the surgery. |
