骨補填剤β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) の使用経験

抄録

We evaluated radiological findings after treatment for bone deficit with β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP). We used only β-TCP in most cases. The mean age at the time of surgery was 49.1 years (range: 7 to 89 years). The mean duration of follow-up was 9.3 months (range: 3 to 14 months). The mean quantity of β-TCP used was 3.5cm³ (range: 0.5 to 13cm³ ). In most of the cases, X-ray showed that bone formation occurred around β-TCP and that absorption of β-TCP occurred over 3 months after operation. All of the cases recovered well without side effects.
