摘要: This study examines the hypothesis that injectable collagen gel can be an effective carrier for recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein‐2 (rhBMP‐2)'s localization to the healing tendon–bone interface. In 36 mature New Zealand White rabbits, the upper long digital extensor tendon was cut and inserted into the proximal tibial bone tunnel. Then a rhBMP‐2‐containing collagen gel was injected into the tendon–bone tunnel interface, using a syringe. Histological and biomechanical assessments of the tendon–bone interface were …
