Abstract:
Periosteum is a connective tissue that envelopes the outer surface of bones and is tightly bound to the underlying
bone by Sharpey’s fibers. It is composed of two layers, the outer fibrous layer and the inner cambium layer. The periosteum is densely vascularised and contains an osteoprogenitor niche that serves as a repository for bone-forming
cells, which makes it an essential bone-regenerating tissue and has immensely contributed to fracture healing. Due
to the high vascularity of inner cambium layer of the periosteum, periosteal transplantation has been widely used in
the management of bone defects and fracture by orthopedic surgeons. Nevertheless, the use of periosteal graft in the
management of bone defect is limited due to its contracted nature after being harvested. This review summarizes the
current state of knowledge about the structure of periosteum, and how periosteal transplantation have been used in
clinical practices, with special reference on its expansion.
