Resorbable bone cements are replaced by bone osteoclastic resorption and osteoblastic new bone formation near the periphery. However, the ideal bone cement would be replaced by new bone through processes similar to fracture repair, which occurs through a variable combination of endochondral and intramembranous ossification. In this study, nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite (nHA)-poly(thioketal urethane) (PTKUR) cements were implanted in femoral defects in New Zealand White rabbits to evaluate ossifi ...[more]
