Popis: We compared the incorporation of bone allografts with or without vancomycin in tibial defects of 18 pigs. High-quality radiographs, histological examination, immunological expression of metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13) and transforming growth factor-beta 2 (TGFs2) indicated that there was no significant difference in bone allograft incorporation between up to 220 times the MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) in bone allografts with 1 g of vancomycin in each 300 g of allograft or without this supplement.
