pubmed:abstractText
A hydroxyapatite/type I collagen (HAp/Col) composite, aligning hydroxyapatite nano-crystals along collagen molecules, has been synthesized. The biocompatibility, osteoconductivity and efficacy as an rhBMP-2 carrier of this novel biomaterial implanted in the weight-bearing site have been examined. The HAp/Col implants adsorbing 0 or 400 microg/ml of rhBMP-2 were implanted into bone defects of tibiae in 3 beagle dogs and fixed according to the Ilizarov method. As a control, bone defects of 20 mm remaining in 2 beagle dogs and the dogs were allowed to walk using a Ilizarov external skeletal fixator. The radiological and histological findings suggest that the implants induce bone remodeling units and are a superior carrier of rhBMP-2 due to the stimulation of early callus and new bone formation. As a next step, anterior fusion was carried out on 6 beagle dogs with the implants adsorbing 400 microg/ml of rhBMP-2, and 9 dogs with the implants without rhBMP-2. In 3 dogs of the rhBMP-treated group, as well as 6 dogs of the non-rhBMP-treated group, the implant was fixed with a poly-L-lactide plate. Histological and radiographical analysis suggest that enhancement of callus formation and bone bridging by rhBMP-treatment is effective to prevent collapse of the implant.
