In Vivo Evaluation of Hydroxyapatite Foams

In Vivo Evaluation of Hydroxyapatite Foams

Porous hydroxyapatite manufactured by foaming of aqueous ceramic suspensions and setting via gelcasting of organic monomers was tested for in vivo biocompatibility in rabbit tibia for a period of 8 weeks. The foams provide tortous frameworks and large interconnected pores that support cell attachmen...
