Biological response to a bioactive glass coated implant: experimental data
Judas, F; Figueiredo, MH; Cabrita, SM; Piedade, AP; Proença, AA biomaterial constituted by a metallic titanium alloy (TiAl6V4) coated with a bioglass layer (Na2O (7-24%), K2O (2-8%), CaO (9-20%), Al2O3 (0.1-2%), MgO (0.1-2%), SiO2 (46-53%) and P2O5 (4-8%) was implanted in the cancellous bone of adult rabbit knee, in orthotopic situation, under conditions of mechanical stability. The animals were sacrificed after 30 (Group I), 90 (Group II), and 180 (Group III) days postop...
Incorporation of impacted morselized bone allografts in rabbits
Judas, F; Figueiredo, MH; Cabrita, AS; Proença, AMorselized bone allografts have been used for the treatment of bone stock loss in orthopedic revision surgery with encouraging results. However, several parameters can influence the graft incorporation including the processing treatments. This experimental work used a cavitary bone defect in 90 rabbits to evaluate the sequence of incorporation of three different kinds of morselized bone allografts: uncryopreser...
