THE EFFECT OF BONE MORPHOGENETIC PROTEIN 2 ON TENDON-TO-BONE HEALING IN A CANINE FLEXOR TENDON MODEL

Tendon-to-bone healing is typically poor, with a high rate of repair-site rupture. Bone loss after tendon-to-bone repair may contribute to poor outcomes. Therefore, we hypothesized that the local application of the osteogenic growth factor BMP-2 would promote bone formation, leading to improved repa...
