Hydroxyapatite-lignin composite as a metallic implant-bone tissue osseointegration improver: experimental study in dogs

The study aimed to evaluate biocompatibility, osteoconduction and osseointegration of a pasty composite of hydroxyapatite (20%) and lignin (80%) as a promoter of metal implant and bone tissue integration.An intramedullary Schanz pin was implanted in both tibias of fifteen bitches.In the left tibia, the pin was coated with the biomaterial at the time of surgery.Marrow cavity was also filled with the biomaterial.

Right limb did not The Role of Endophytes in Combating Fungal- and Bacterial-Induced Stress in Plants receive the biomaterial, then constituting the control group.Tibias were harvested from five animals at 8, 60 and 150 days after surgery; three of them were analyzed by histological and biomechanical assessment and the two remaining tibias by X-ray diffraction.Results showed that the biomaterial is biocompatible, with osteoconductivity and osseointegration properties.Histological analysis and diffractograms showed the presence of Spatial Multi-Criteria Assessment to Select Optimum Route To Improve Transportation Network in Al-Omarah City hydroxyapatite in samples in all periods, although the presence of organic material of low crystallinity was variable.

There was no statistical difference in the forces required for removal of the biocompatibility, osteoconductivity and osseointegration, it was not able to promote a better intramedullary pin anchorage.
