Use of Porous Titanium Trabecular as a Bone Defect Regenerator: In Vivo Study

The application of porous materials is increasingly being used in orthopaedic surgery due to its good results. Bone growth within the pores results excellent mechanical fixation with bone, as well bone regeneration. pores, addition colonised by produce a decrease modulus elasticity that favours transfer loads bone. This research shows an experimental study where we have created critical osteoperiosteal defects 10 mm on rabbit’s radius diaphysis. In one group rabbits (experimental group) implanted bioactive titanium cylinder, and another allowed spontaneous regeneration (control group). Mechanical tests were performed assess material. Image diagnostic techniques (X-ray, scanner 3D scan: there are no references literature use CT-scan defects) histological histomorphometric studies post-op after 3, 6 12 months performed. All control cases went through pseudoarthrosis. 9 complete was observed, normal cortical-marrow structure established at months, similar Titanium trabecular reached percentage inside implant 49.3% surface 3 post-op, 75.6% 81.3% months. biomaterial has appropriate characteristics allow ingrowth, it can be proposed graft substitute regenerate defects, scaffold, or coating achieve osteointegration.
