Histomorphometric Analysis of Newly-formed Bone Using Octacalcium Phosphate and Bone Matrix Gelatin in Rat Tibial Defects

Background: Repair of bone defects is challenging for reconstructive and orthopedic surgeons. In this study, we aimed to histomorphometrically assess new bone formation in tibial bone defects filled with octacalcium phosphate (OCP), bone matrix gelatin (BMG), and a combination of both.
