Osteogenic Induction with Silicon Hydroxyapatite Using Modified Autologous Adipose Tissue-Derived Stromal Vascular Fraction: In Vitro and Qualitative Histomorphometric Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Large bone defects requiring invasive surgical procedures have long been a problem for orthopedic surgeons. Despite the use of autologous bone grafting, satisfactory results are often not achieved due to associated limitations. Biomaterials are viable alternatives and have lately been used in association with Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF), stem cells, and signaling factors for bone tissue engineering (BTE). The objective of the current study was to assess the biocompatibility of Silicon Hydroxyapatite (Si-HA) and to improve osteogenic potential by using autologous adipose-derived SVF with Si-HA in a rabbit bone defect model. Si-HA granules synthesized using a wet precipitation method were used. They were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (
