This research aims to compare bone formation after spinal reconstruction using frozen versus fresh bone autografts.
Conducted histological evaluation of bone formation in canine beagles
Divided subjects into four groups based on autograft type and time points
Measured proportion of reaction and mature bone regions at different cage locations
Reaction bone regions increased significantly for fresh autografts from 8 to 16 weeks
Mature bone region increased for frozen autografts but reaction region remained stable
Greater bone formation at the center of the cage occurred only in fresh autograft group at 16 weeks

新村 et al. (2018) studied this question.
