| Research Abstract |
We newly created phosphorylated pullulan bioadhesive for hard-tissue reconstruction. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of this material for bone reconstruction. In vivo experiments using rabbit ulnar bone defect model, phosphorylated pullulan filled with defect site replaced new bone quickly. This study suggests that phosphorylated pullulan has a new potentiality for the therapy of fracture.
