Studies of diseases and injuries of bone and their repair demand a knowledge of the intrinsic vascular pattern and of the opportunity for collateral circulation of most bones and, in particular, of certain bones and epiphyses.

Many reports, some speculative and conflicting, have included a discussion of the etiology and repair of various forms of osteochondritis, aseptic and septic necrosis, epiphyseal slipping or separation and other more or less obscure changes in the epiphyses and in their cartilage.
