Noncemented revision arthroplasty is often complicated by the presence of bone implant gaps that reduce initial stability and biologic fixation. Demineralized bone matrix has osteoinductive properties and therefore the potential to enhance gap healing and porous implant fixation.
We determined at what times and to what extent demineralized bone matrix promotes gap healing and bone ingrowth around a porous implant.
Demineralized bone matrix promotes rapid bone ingrowth and gap healing around porous implants.
Clinical Relevance: Demineralized bone matrix has potential for enhancing implant fixation in revision arthroplasty.
