OBJECTIVE To confirm membrane-guided tissue regeneration in the healing course of segmental bone defects and study the mechanism. METHODS Segmental, 1 cm osteoperiosteal defects were produced in both radii of 12 rabbits. One side was covered with hydroxyapatite/polylactic acid(HA/PLA) membrane encapsulated as a tube. The contralateral side served as an untreated control. Healing courses were detected by radiographic and histologic examinations. RESULTS All control sides showed nonunion, whereas there were consistent healing pattern in test sides. CONCLUSION Membrane technique can promote bone regeneration.
