Demineralised bone matrix in veterinary orthopaedics: A review

Summary

Demineralised bone matrix (DBM) is commonly used in human orthopaedics as an allograft prepared from cortical bone. As such, there is a background of literature on the basic science, experimental animal studies and clinical human use of DBM. Because canine DBM is now increasingly available and used in veterinary orthopaedics, this review aims to update the veterinary orthopaedic specialist with the properties and activities of this bone allograft product.

Keywords

Demineralised bone matrix - osteoinduction - bone graft - canine
