Abstract:
The main goal of bone healing, besides the healing of the bone, is ensuring that the dynamic system of repair is under biologic control. To do so, the soft tissue has to be kept isolated to avoid any herniation into the bony defect, that would produce and interfere with the bone interface or collapse the original defect resulting in a relapse.
