A custom designed push-out test was performed to simulate the fixation of a burr hole defect using a burr hole cover plate and 6 rivet/pins. A polyurethane sawbone product ( 40) obtained from Pacific Research Labs, Inc. Vashon, WA was used to simulate calvarial bone.

By 27 months, the rivets were showing slight absorptive changes, especially in the head region. Adjacent to the rivets there were minor calvarial bone changes, similar to those seen at earlier periods. Healing of the calvarium was complete in all except for the area of the central hole in the plate. 

Dynamic culturing conditions of hMSCs were also used to engineer bone implants for critical sized calvarial bone repair in nude mice (Meinel et al., 2004,2005). The engineered bone implants displayed trabecular-like bone networks with ECM similar to the native tissue. Good integration was observed after 5-weeks postimplantation, and constructs stained positive for osteogenic markers (sialoprotein.
