Implication

Preclinical analysis reveals radiography superior in assessing spinal fusion with synthetic bone grafts, indicating biological responses differ widely.

Key Points

Spinal fusion rates determined by radiography showed distinct differences among synthetic bone graft substitutes.
Histology highly indicated biological response variation, with notable graft resorption and new bone tissue formation.
Analysis of synthetic grafts included biphasic CaP and others in an instrumented sheep lumbar model for efficacy measures.
Findings suggest the need for robust animal models in evaluating synthetic bone graft performance for improved outcomes.
