Özet

Composite cartilage grafts are limited in size due to their limited blood supply. Survival of composite cartilage grafts depend on the blood supplied through their margins. The delaying phenomenon increases vascularization in both the composite cartilage graft and the recipient bed. We present the effects of delayed composite cartilage graft, delayed recipient bed, or both, on composite cartilage graft size, survival and also radioactive examination of the cartilage survival using sulphur 35 in rabbit ears.
