Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create a consistent preclinical model to understand bone graft healing in bone defects that can’t regenerate well.
- In the experiment, critical size defects were made in pigs and filled with either bone mineral material or left empty, and covered with a collagen membrane or left untreated.
- Results showed that after 8 and 12 weeks, defects treated with bone mineral and a collagen membrane had significantly more new bone formation compared to empty defects, although the membrane didn’t affect overall healing much.
- This model effectively mimics real-world bone defect healing scenarios, making it useful for future research on bone grafts.
