Effect of bone sialoprotein coating on progression of bone formation in a femoral defect model in rats

ConclusionsA significant superiority of BSP-coated scaffolds over uncoated scaffolds could not be proven. However, BSP-coating showed a tendency towards improving bone ingrowth in the scaffolds 4 weeks after implantation. This effect was only short-lived: bone growth in the control scaffolds tended to outpace that of the BSP-group at week eight.
