Methods: NRBX was made by combining recombi- nant human BMP2(rhBMP2) and an antigen-free bovine cancellous bone (BCB) as a carrier. NRBX was used alone, in combination with free periosteal graft to repair a 1. 5 cm defect in the radius of rabbit. The defect-repairing capability for each of the treatment modalities was assessed with radiographical, biomechanical, densitometrical and histological methods. Results: NRBX used alone was capable of healing the defect in large by 16 weeks, with a similar repair process and mecha- nism seen with econstituted bone xenograft (RBX). Combined use of NRBX and free periosteal graft was superior in terms of increased and quality of the new bone formed at the early stage of the repair pass (within 12 weeks) to NRBX used alone, with the defect basically healed by 12 weeks. Conclusion: Both methods are effective in repairing segmental bone defects, but NRBX used in combination with free periosteal graft is preferred, because of the satisfactory osteogenesis, osteoconduction and osteoinduction.展开更多
