Osseointegration of Hydroxyapatite Implants in Rat Tibial Defects with Sciatic Nerve Injury

Bone metabolism is influenced by different factors and muscle activity acts as a stimulator of bone plasticity. Conditions such as nerve injuries can compromise bone physiology due to muscle inactivity. Preview studies have shown that nerve damage reduces P substance and calcitonin gene-related pept...
