Trauma to tendons and ligaments represents a significant part of orthopaedic and podiatric injuries. To improve the outcome of repair, complex or chronic injuries may require reinforcement of the primary repair with a graft. Biologic grafts currently available provide different handling, strength, and biological responses.

- The study evaluated a porous tricalcium phosphate bone filler (Cellplex TCP) as a substitute for traditional autograft in bone grafting through various methods, including lab tests and animal studies.
- The material demonstrated favorable characteristics such as appropriate composition, porosity, and strength, while effectively supporting mesenchymal stem cells for bone growth.
- In rabbit models, the TCP showed comparable or superior mechanical strength and complete bone integration, suggesting it could serve as a viable alternative to autograft in clinical applications.
Bovine-derived bone protein extract in the treatment of mandibular Class II furcations.

November 2002
This study was an initial evaluation of the use of a bovine-derived bone protein (BP) extract that contains various growth factors combined with decalcified freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA) as regenerative treatment for class II mandibular furcations. Twenty-five patients were divided into 5 groups according to the dosage of BP present per mg of DFDBA to be grafted: (1) 0.00 microgram/mg, (2) 3.
