To study the effects of migration of lengthened bone segment (MLBS) on the blood circulation and repair remodeling process at the ends of large bone defect of a long bone. Methods: A total of 18 adult goats were used and more than 35% of the original length of their left tibia was resected. Upper metaphysiotomy to lengthen upper part of the tibia was done and the lengthened bone segment was migrated to repair the large bone defect. The results were observed with X-ray films, Chinese-ink permeated transparent sections and histological study. Results: After MLBS, the defect ends of the tibia were supplied with abundant blood circulation which resulted in rapid and solid long bone healing. Conclusion: Repair of large bone defect of long bones with MLBS provides a new method for clinical practice.
