## Abstract The aim of this study was to assess the osseointegration of copper vapor laser–superfinished titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) implants with pore sizes of 25, 50, and 200 μm in a rabbit intramedullary model. Control implants were prepared by corundum blasting. Each animal received all four diffe

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) administered intermittently is a bone-building peptide. In joint replacements, implants are unavoidably surrounded by gaps despite meticulous surgical technique and osseointegration is challenging. We examined the effect of human PTH(1–34) on implant fixation in an experime
