Abstract To examine the effects of porous tricalcium phosphate (TCP) combined with autogenous red bone marrow (BM) in therepar of bone defects, 21 cases of bone defects were implanted with the above prepared composite material, 17 cases had benign or low-grade malignant tumors and 4cases had old fractures. Serial X-ray films were taken after surgery. The results showed that new bone formation was seen between the interface of the implantand surrounding host bone after 6 weeks, and osseous union developed after 12 weeks. Evident osteogenesis in all patients was observed after a follow-up for 1～3 years. TCP-BM is both osteoconductive and osteoinductive. Its function was similar to the fresh autogenous cancellous bone graft and TCP-BM had the potencyof promoting the repair of osseous defect. It was suggested that TCP-BM might be an ideal material for treating bone defects.
