Role of tricalcium phosphate implant in bridging the large osteoperiosteal gaps in rabbits
375-380Treatment
options for large osteoperiosteal defects are limited and that which are
available are not ideal. Osteoperiosteal defect were created in ulnae of both
forelimbs of rabbits and tricalcium phosphate implant was used to bridge the
gap. Amongst the 35 implanted ulnae, one implant got dislodged. Rest of the
implants showed good adherence to host bone until the final follow up. Five
control rabbit limbs (in which no implants were put) showed persistent bone
gap. Histological and Electron microscopic examination revealed bone tissues
covering the surface of the implant and bridging the gap. New bone was formed
in the pores also. Tricalcium phosphate implants showed new bone formation due
to osteoconductive properties. They are biodegradable. It is suggested that
tricalcium phosphate implants are viable treatment alternatives in management
of large osteoperiosteal defects with minimal to no adverse effects
