Abstract
The reconstruction of large bone segments is an important clinical problem, and none of the approaches proposed thus far have proved very effective. In animals, repair and functional recovery of segmental bone defects have been reported with the use of marrow-derived osteoprogenitor cells grown on scaffolds of macroporous hydroxyapatite.1-3Keywords
