Alcohol-extracted and sterilised cylinders of ash- and birchwood were implanted into the tibia of rabbits. The selection criteria of these two wood species were thoroughly described. 28 implants were evaluated after 3, 5, 14 and 32 weeks using undecalcified microtome sections and ground sections employing polychromatic sequential-labelling and microradiography. In spite of a foreign-body-tissue reaction new bone is formed around the implants and within the pores of the wood as well. Both wood species therefore seem to be suitable implant materials, which were anchoraged by the bone itself. A tensile strength and elastic properties comparable to bone and simple handling would be the advantages of this material.
