Abstract
This study evaluated the in vivo behavior of an injectable calcium phosphate bone cement implanted in bone defects at the distal end of rabbit femora. After 3 weeks, samples were harvested and processed for undecalcified sectioning. Scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared microspectroscopy showed direct contact of bone and cement without soft tissue interposition, biocompatibility, and bioactivity with osteoconductive properties. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
