Studies in five dogs showed that skin grafts over decorticated bone became viable after two weeks; skin grafts over nondecorticated bone were necrotic and sloughed. After eight weeks, the grafts on the decoritcated areas were well vascularized; peripheral epithelial migration had almost completely closed the defects in the nondecorticated sites.
