Abstract
Thirty cylindrical, commercially pure, titanium fiber, porous-coated T i6Al4V implants were inserted press-fit into the proximal humeral port ion of 30 sheep humeri to determine the systemic effect of recombinant factor XIII and placenta-derived factor XIII concentrate on bone ingr owth and strength of fixation. For both the recombinant factor XIII an d the factor XIII concentrate group, the volume of bone ingrowth and t he strength of fixation were higher than for the control specimens. Ho wever, the difference was only significant for the factor XIII concent rate group.
