Unfocused shockwaves for osteoinduction in bone substitutes in rat cortical bone defects. [PDF]
Bone substitutes are frequently used in clinical practice but often exhibit limited osteoinductivity. We hypothesized that unfocused shockwaves enhance the osteoinductivity of bone substitutes and improve osteointegration and angiogenesis.
