The role of the periosteum in osteointegration of hydroxyapatite granules.
The role of the periosteum in the osteointegration of hydroxyapatite (HA) granules was studied in the skull and tibial bone of eight adult Göttingen minipigs. Calcein and tetracycline were used as labeling stains to determine new bone formation. Depending on the condition of the periosteum, three different patterns of osteointegration of HA were found.
