Abstract

To evaluate in vivo performance of hydroxyapatite cement (HAC) as a porous bone graft substitute, HAC was mixed (1:1 ratio) with either porous calcium-phosphate granules (80% tricalcium phosphate, 20% hydroxyapatite) or defatted morsellized cancellous bone (MCB) allograft and implanted bilaterally in cylindrical drill holes in distal femurs of rabbits. Groups with empty defects and impacted MCB were used for reference. After 8 weeks, one femur from each pair was examined histologically. All contralateral specimens and Time-0 specimens were used for mechanical indentation tests. Histology showed that some empty defects were filled with newly formed osteopenic bone after 8 weeks. The impacted MCB showed remodeling into new vital bone. Incorporation of the HAC/MCB composite was incomplete, whereas minimal new bone ingrowth was found in the HAC/granule composites. Though not different from each other, both composites were significantly stronger than empty defects, incorporated impacted MCB, and intact cancellous bone. At Time 0, the mechanical behavior of impacted MCB was similar to both HAC composites. In conclusion, composites of HAC and porous biomaterials can maintain relatively high strength over 8 weeks in vivo, but their inc...Continue Reading

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
