Autografts, allografts, and synthetic bone substitutes are essential in reconstructive orthopedic surgery. Although autografts allografts provide excellent skeletal integration, their use is limited by host morbidity graft acquisition challenges. Synthetic materials like β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) offer promising osseoconductive properties as a potential substitute. This study evaluated the osseointegration of β-TCP ceramic cylinder implants defects rabbits. Eighteen New Zealand rabbits underwent radial diaphysis ostectomy to create critical segmental defect were divided into three groups: Group A received blocks, B allogenous cortical grafts, C without filling. Postoperative assessments included clinical evaluations, radiographs, micro-computed tomography, histology at various time points assess implant resorption. At 120th postoperative day, showed successful integration infection. In contrast, no or resorption implants, exhibited non-union. While demonstrated biocompatibility, it lacked osseoconductivity, likely due low porosity. did not promote consolidation, suggesting that further research on porosity shape needed improve suitability for veterinary
