Evaluation of porous gradient hydroxyapatite/zirconia composites for repair of lumbar vertebra defect in dogs

Conclusion
New porous gradient hydroxyapatite/zirconia composites can promote the repair of bony defect, and induce bone tissue to ingrow into the pores, which may be applied widely to the treatment of bony defect in the future.
