Comparison of osteoconductivity and absorbability of beta-tricalcium phosphate and hydroxyapatite in open wedge high tibial osteotomy

Oh Kwang Jun , Koh Young Bong

The purposes of this present study were to compare the osteoconductivity and absorbability in patients of open wedge high tibial osteotomy with medially gaps filled with hydroxyapatite (HA) or beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP).Total 41 knees of 40 patients in whose follow up period more than 1 year were enrolled. The patients were divides into two groups, group I (22 knees, 21 patients) used HA and group II (19knees, 19 patients) used β-TCP...
