Abstract

Autolysed antigen-extracted allogeneic bone (AAA bone) was used to bridge a large osteoperiosteal gap in the diaphysis of the radius of 50 rabbits. Periodic observations of the graft were made clinically, radiologically and histologically every week up to fourteen weeks. The continuity of the radius was evaluated macroscopically and histologically. The AAA bones were progressively resorbed and replaced by the new bone. The bone remodelled to the mature tubular bone and did not undergo absorption during the experimental period. The AAA bone proceeded to be an osteoinductive and osteoconductive material. There were no appreciable histologic signs of immune or foreign body reaction.
