In cases where discectomy
is carried out, cage and fusion materials are recommended to be placed in the
disc distance to prevent complications such as narrowing at the disc distance
and foraminal distance that may develop. It is recommended to use autogenous
bone grafts primarily in anterior interbody fusion surgery. Synthetic grafts can be used to prevent
complications such as pain and infection in the area of receiving autogenous
bone grafts. Today, research on synthetic graft technologies continues. In this
study, the effect of fusion was investigated when the pipe, which is effective
for bone and calcium metabolism, was applied locally to intervertebral disc
distance. In this study where hydroxyapatite and pipe were compared, remains
were formed in all subjects radiologically. Boron and Hydroxy apathy have been
shown to form the same sizes of calculus.
Pathologically, although hydroxy is not as much as apatite, it has been
seen to create a better amount of fusion than the control group. The osteoblastic
activity was most commonly seen in the hydroxyapatite group.
