Behaviour of nonresorbable bioactive glass-ceramic implanted into long bone defects: comparison with cancellous allografts

Abstract

The goal of this retrospective study was to compare the long-term results after implantation of the nonresorbable glass-ceramic material and transplantation of the cancellous allografts into the defects of long bones.The implantation of the nonresorbable glass-ceramic material into the diaphyseal defects of long bones is not suitable based on our study.
