The efficacy of poly-d,l-lactic acid- and hyaluronic acid-coated bone substitutes on implant fixation in sheep

This study demonstrates that HA/βTCP granules coated with PDLLA and HyA have similar bone ingrowth and implant fixation as those with allograft, and with mechanical properties resembling those of allograft in advance, they may be considered as alternative substitute materials for bone formation in sheep.
