• Analysis of failures after vascularized fibular grafting in femoral head necrosis 

      Malizos, K. N.; Quarles, L. D.; Dailiana, Z. H.; Rizk, W. S.; Seaber, A. V.; Urbaniak, J. R. (2004)
      Evaluation of graft-host bone interactions after failed vascularized fibular grafting of femoral head necrosis may elucidate the reasons for failure of the procedure. According to the authors' study, the vascularized fibula ...
    • DONOR SITES FOR PEDICLED SKELETAL GRAFTS OF THE HAND, WRIST, AND FOREARM 

      Dailiana, Z. H.; Mailizos, K. N.; Varitimidis, S. E.; Urbaniak, J. R. (2009)
      Pedicled bone and periosteal grafts provide successful reconstruction of skeletal problems of the distal radius, wrist, and hand. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the available alternatives and to propose the most ...
    • Free vascularized fibular grafting following failed core decompression for femoral head osteonecrosis 

      Dailiana, Z. H.; Toth, A. P.; Gunneson, E.; Berend, K. R.; Urbaniak, J. R. (2007)
      The results of treatment of femoral head osteonecrosis with free vascularized fibular g-rafting (FVFG) following failed core decompression (core decompression-FVFG [CD-FVFG] group: 32 hips) were reviewed and compared with ...
    • Free vascularized fibular grafts for reconstruction of skeletal defects 

      Malizos, K. N.; Zalavras, C. G.; Soucacos, P. N.; Beris, A. E.; Urbaniak, J. R. (2004)
      Nourished by the peroneal vessels, the versatile free vascularized fibular graft can be transferred to reconstruct skeletal defects of the extremities. It may be combined with skin, fascia, muscle, and growth-plate tissue ...
    • Synovial fluid metabolites in osteonecrosis 

      Huffman, K. M.; Bowers, J. R.; Dailiana, Z.; Huebner, J. L.; Urbaniak, J. R.; Kraus, V. B. (2007)
      Objectives. Osteonecrosis of the femoral head results from interruption of the vascular supply and eventual death of the cellular portion of bone. Effective methods of monitoring response to treatment are needed. Our aim ...
    • Vascularized periosteal flaps of distal forearm and hand 

      Dailiana, Z. H.; Malizos, K. N.; Urbaniak, J. R. (2005)
      Background: Vascularized periosteal flaps (VPFs) are flexible osteogenic flaps, suitable for the reconstruction of small skeletal defects. Pedicled VPFs, harvested near the recipient site, minimize donor-site morbidity and ...
