Experimental use of statins as stimulators of bone formation suggests they may have widespread applicability in the field of orthopaedics. With their combined effects on osteoblasts and osteoclasts, statins have the potential to enhance resorption of synthetic materials and improve bone ingrowth. In
## Abstract Previously, we reported that application of 10 μg recombinant human TGF‐β2 (rhTGF‐β2) enhanced peri‐implant bone formation and bone‐implant contact in a rat model. To further investigate the dose effect, the present experiment evaluated doses of rhTGF‐β2 bracketed around 10 μg (5, 10, 2
## Abstract Extruded implants (2.5 mm x 25 mm) of the resorbable magnesium alloys MgCa0.8 and LAE442 were implanted into the marrow cavity of both tibiae of 10 New Zealand White rabbits. The animals were in a good general condition over the whole experimental period and showed no signs of lameness.
