Radiographs obtained before and after the repair of large bone defects in three Patients from the study by Quarto et al. panels (a)–(c) show films obtained from Patient 1 before, immediately after, and 18 months after surgery, respectively. Panels (d)–(f) show films from Patient 2 before, immediately after, and eight months after surgery, respectively. Panels (g)–(i) show films from Patient 3 before, immediately after, and 15 months after surgery, respectively. All the films obtained at the last time point demonstrate bridging of the defect with newly formed bone.
