Biomaterial Implants in Bone Fractures Produced in Rats Fibulas
نویسندگان
چکیده
UNLABELLED To evaluate the importance of collagen and hydroxyapatite in the regeneration of fractures experimentally induced in the fibulas of rats. METHOD 15 rats were used. These were subjected to surgery to remove a fragment from the fibula. This site then received a graft consisting of a silicone tubes filled with hydroxyapatite and collagen. RESULTS Little bone neoformation occurred inside the tubes filled with the biomaterials. There was more neoformation in the tubes with collagen. CONCLUSION The biomaterials used demonstrated biocompatibility and osteoconductive capacity that was capable of stimulating osteogenesis, even in bones with secondary mechanical and morphological functions such as the fibula of rats.

Modeling the Anisotropic Mechanical Properties of Hydroxyapatite Whisker Reinforced Biocomposites
The ideal bone substitute biomaterial should have mechanical properties similar to that of human bone tissue. Hydroxyapatite (HA) alone suffers from low fracture toughness, and most polymers alone lack sufficient stiffness and strength, limiting applications in load-bearing implants. Synthetic HA whisker reinforced polymer biocomposites provide a means to overcome these deficiencies (Roeder, et...
متن کاملHealing Large Bone Defects
Large bone defects and non-union fractures, especially in the diaphysis, represent a challenging and complex interaction of mechanical and biological factors. Fortunately, many of these problem fractures can be successfully managed by stabilization and autologous cancellous bone grafting. However, in some patients autologous cancellous bone graft collection can be associated with morbidity, or ...

PURPOSE Ridge expansion is used to widen narrow ridges with adequate height for implant placement. This human case series presents the clinical and histologic results of delayed expansion of mandibles by ultrasonic surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with residual alveolar ridge width between 2.3 and 4.1 mm in the coronal area of the posterior mandible were included in the study. First, f...
متن کاملEconomic Analysis of the Cost of Implants Used for Treatment of Distal Radius Fractures
Background: There are a number of different implant choices for surgical treatment of distal radius fractures, oftendetermined by surgeon preference or availability. Although no one volar plate demonstrates superior outcomes, thereare significant cost differences absorbed by hospitals and surgical centers. This purpose of this study is to characterizethe economic implications of implant selecti...
