title = "Goat bone tissue engineering: The effect of implant location",
abstract = "The effect of implant location on the bone formation was investigated. Eight goats with a single autologous cell-seeded porous ceramic implant, a control implant without cells in ectopic intramuscular location and 50 implants on each side at two different levels of lumbar intertransverse paraspinal implantation were used for the study. The intramuscular implants were found to be well incorporated into the surrounding muscle bed whereas the paraspinal samples were only loosely attached to the overlaying muscle. It is suggested that the bone formation is related to the total implant area, mechanical factors or the influx of nutritional factors.",
