Intraosseous phlebography following allogenic bone transplantation in young buffalo. An experimental study

Intraosseous phlebography is described in normal metatarsal bones of young buffalo and in metatarsal bone with surgical defects grafted with fresh or treated allogenic cortical bone. Venous flow across the bone graft was established earlier and more efficiently with fresh or frozen grafts than with autoclaved or merthiolated grafts. Intraosseous flow across a non-grafted defect was observed early but stasis and delayed drainage were observed later. Intraosseous phlebography can be used in the evaluation of bone graft acceptance.
