Repair of a pigeon long bone cortical defect filled with collagen and autograft bone

摘要

The aim of this study was to develop a clinically relevant surgically created defect model in ulna's pigeon and to test the hypothese that Emovet? implants are equivalent to bone autografts on bone defect filling in avian species by comparing its ability to stimulate bone formation and repair in cortical defect in pigeon long bones.
