Abstract

Bone grafts are essential for promoting bone healing in some orthopedic cases, and synthetic bone materials have been widely used for bone defects. In addition, osteoinductive proteins such as bone morphogenetic protein and fibroblast growth factor promote osteoblast differentiation and proliferation. The combination of these factors is very useful clinically for promoting bone healing. In this study, we report the use of synthetic bone materials and osteoinductive proteins to repair bone defects in two dogs.
