In many experimental animals temporary stabilization and protection of composite grafts are defficult to obtain by routine method. The failure of a composite graft to "take" because of direct trauma or a shearing effect can interfere greatly with the experimental results. We have used an inlay method to prevent experimental composite graft from external trauma. This study compare the survival of a composite graft of the ear cartilage by routine method with the protection of an overlying skin flap. 3 series of experiments were carried out and used 30 rabbits weighing from 2.5 to 3 kg.
The results were as follows:
Composite grafts of similar dimensions were placed on the defects and sutured in place, which were dried later in all cases. But composite graft using inlay technique were survived in all cases at the time of reexploration. Following exposure of the composite graft on postoperative 6 day they were started to dry. On microscopic examination, proliferation of chondroblasts in the perichondrium were active in Group Ⅲ. Above results suggest that inlay technique provides moisture environment and protection which produced surival of composite grafts.
