Use of the induced membrane technique for bone tissue engineering purposes: animal studies.
Animal experiments using the induced membrane procedure for bone tissue engineering purposes have provided evidence that the membrane has structural characteristics and biologic properties that may be used for bone tissue engineering purposes. Clinically relevant animal models have demonstrated that standardized particulate bone constructs can be used to repair large bone defects using the procedure and that the osteogenic ability of these constructs partially approaches that of bone autografts.
