The original defect areas had good outlook and no local introcession.The donor areas had the same shapes with the opposite sides- The lower limbs moved as normal and the pa-tients could study and work normally. The X-ray films showed that the transplanted b0nes were alivedand fused with the skullbone in part- The donor areas had 0steoporosis and new bone gr0wth. The authorsconsidered that ilial bone was the most suitable aut0graft- lts characters are that it has excellent shape with-out area limit, distorti0n, aging and l0cal dropsy which can occur when man-made materials are applied.
