Abstract:Bone growth into porous composite (mesh-bead) titanium plugs was compared in elderly (postmenopausal) female monkeys and female dogs as a means of validating the cross-species interpretations so often made between data from research on dogs and human applications. The effect of oophorectomy on bone ingrowth in the canine model was defined by the comparison of data on fractional ingrowth in animals that had had oophorectomy and in control animals that had had a sham operation. No significant difference in bone growth into the experimental plugs was identified between the two animal models, which lends credence to cross-species interpretation of existing data from dogs. The presence or absence of active ovaries did not affect the ingrowth fraction in the canine model; this suggests that existing data are not confounded by the lack of control of ovarian function. Estrogen depletion does not appear to influence bone ingrowth adversely.
