Comment:

Phemister. Dallas B. Phemister published his paper on the fate of transplanted bone in 1914 and it appeared to resolve the debate about whether or not it was necessary to include periosteum. He showed that many small pieces of bone alone survived better and produced more bone than a single large piece due to improved vascularisation.
