The aim of the present manuscript was to provide information on the suitability of using ovine as models for conducting in vivo bone tissue engineering studies, regarding the biomechanical considerations. Despite the need of knowledge of the animal model used for bone tissue research a good planning and study design is equal important. The purpose of this review is to contribute to extrapolation of reliable data for those who pretend to use the ovine model in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
