| Abstract | Bone grafts are widely used for the coverage of bone defects resulting after several types of surgical interventions. Different types of bone-graft substitutes have been developed and are on the market worldwide. Thus, it's important to evaluate their osteoinductive and osteoconductive potential. We used 20 mature immuno deficient male SCID mice (severe combined immune deficiency — NOD.CB17-Prkdcscid/J strain) aged 6–8 weeks, divided into 4 groups (A, B, C, D). A segmental bone defect equal to the quadruple of the right femur diameter (4mm) was created. In group A the defect was covered using demineralized bone matrix (DBM) (GRAFTON DBM Gel, 0.5 cc, Osteotech), in group B using cancellous allograft (Cancellous chips, 1cc, Osteopure) and in group C using a combination of DBM and cancellous allograft. Finally in group D the coverage of the bone defect was achieved using an osteoconductive biocomposite of cortical fibers suspended in a resorbable, porous polylactide-co-glycolide scaffold (Plexur™ P Bone Void Filler, Osteotech). All animals from each of the four experimental groups were sacrificed at the end of the 8th week. Both femurs of every animal were ressected and tested on SHIMADZU Autograph tester (AGS-500NJ standard Unit, Shimadzu Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) against bending force in order to determine the mechanical strength of the callus compared to the normal femur. In groups B and D the strength of the callus against bending force was 63% and 65% respectively compared to the strength of the normal bone. In groups A and C these measurements were 49% and 44% respectively. Cancellous bone allograft and Plexur™ P showed the highest rates of callus strength, consisting a valuable solution for the coverage of bone defects. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
