Comparative Study on the Application of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Combined with Tricalcium Phosphate Scaffold into Femoral Bone Defects

Abstract

This prospective study sought to evaluate the healing quality of implanted ultraporous β-tricalcium phosphate sown with expanded autologous mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) into femoral defects during revision hip arthroplasty. A total of 37 osseous defects in 37 patients were treated and evaluated concerning bone regeneration.
