Arthrodesis was performed on the right and left carpus of eight dogs. In each carpus all articular cartilage was removed and internal fixation achieved with a compression plate. A fresh autologous cancellous bone graft was used in the right carpus. Radiographic and microradiographic studies indicated that healing of the arthrodesis, defined as bridging of all joint spaces by trabecular bone, was significantly greater by 12 weeks when the graft was used.
