A wedge-shaped defect was created in the lateral aspect of the distal tibia in female New Zealand white rabbits (n=64) and was filled with tricalcium phosphate (TCP). Animals were assigned to four groups: 1) BMP-7 and PTH; 2) BMP-7; 3) PTH; and 4) control (TCP alone).
Animals received daily subcutaneous injections of 10 microg/kg PTH(1-34) (groups 1 and 3) or saline (groups 2 and 4). Healing at 4 weeks was assessed using micro-computed tomography, histology, immunohistochemistry, and mechanical testing.
