In order to understand the influence of the implantation site on bone biomaterial evaluation, we implanted cylinders of HA and beta-TCP ceramics in the femoral diaphysis and condyle of rabbits. After 3, 8, 12, and 24 weeks of implantation, histological investigation and histomorphometry were performed on undecalcified samples. Our results show that spontaneous bone healing in the empty cavities is significantly different (p < 0.05) between cortical (SBH > 80%) and cancellous bone sites (SBH < 31%) and that no new bone is formed in marrow tissue. For both porous ceramics, the highest osteogenesis was obtained in the cortical site. Osteogenesis was intermediate in the cancellous site and weak in the medullar site. The material biodegradation was the strongest in the medullar site and higher in the cancellous site than in the cortical site. Both activities were better in the beta-TCP than in the HA (p > 0.05). The marrow tissue presents a foreign-body reaction more reliable, sensitive, and durable than other bone tissues. Therefore, the cancellous bone site is a good site for evaluation of the biofunctionality of biomaterials because of the equilibrium of the osteogenesis and the biodegradation activities, but marrow tissue seems to be better for testing material biocompatibility in vivo.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.

D001842 Bone and Bones A specialized CONNECTIVE TISSUE that is the main constituent of the SKELETON. The principal cellular component of bone is comprised of OSTEOBLASTS; OSTEOCYTES; and OSTEOCLASTS, while FIBRILLAR COLLAGENS and hydroxyapatite crystals form the BONE MATRIX.
