Material composition and porous structure are important factors in the formation and maturation of newly formed bone and replacement of materials by new bone. Conventional bone graft materials often lack suitability for bone generation because of the complexity of their macroporous structures, which can interfere with the penetration of cells related to bone remodeling and angiogenesis in the materials. In the present study, carbonate apatite (CO(3)Ap), hydroxyapatite (HAp), and beta-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) honeycomb granules (HCGs) with uniformly sized macropores (similar to 115 mu m) were fabricated. These HCG macropores were arranged in a regular fashion and penetrated straight into the granules. They were implanted into a rabbit femur defect for further evaluation. In the CO(3)Ap HCG implantation group, mature bone formed within CO(3)Ap HCG macropores by 4 weeks after grafting, and a large portion of CO(3)Ap HCGs was replaced by new bone at 12 weeks. By contrast, in the beta-TCP HCG implantation group, new bone was not always formed in the regions after beta-TCP HCG disappearance, and immature bone was present within beta-TCP HCG macropores even after 12 weeks. HAp HCGs were not resorbed, and their macropores were filled with immature bone. The area of mature bone in the CO(3)Ap HCG implantation group was 3.3 and 1.6 times higher at 4 weeks and 2.2 and 1.7 times higher at 12 weeks compared with the HAp and beta-TCP HCG implantation groups, respectively. Furthermore, the degrees of bone maturation for CO(3)Ap, HAp, and beta-TCP HCGs were 100, 34, and 64% at 4 weeks, and 100, 54, and 69% at 12 weeks, respectively. Thus, the composition of the HCGs affected bone formation and maturation.
