Influence of compound of osteal growth factors on maturation of distraction regenerative substrate.

The effects of Stimbone-1, a complex of growth factors deposited by osteal tissue, on maturation of distraction regenerative substrate are studied in dogs. At the end of distraction, the preparation is injected into the regenerative connective tissue interlayer. Roentgenological, biochemical, and quantitative morphological data show that Stimbone-1 stimulates reparative osteogenesis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
