In this work nanocomposite porous pins were implanted into rabbit knees. The pins were made of biodegradable synthetic poly-L/DL-lactide (80:20) which was modified with nanometric hydroksyapatite particles (HAp) and covered with biopolymer layer of sodium alginate (NA). In vivo experiments were conducted on a 4-element group of the New Zealand rabbits. Osteogenesis was observed using scanning electron microscope (SEM/EDS) after 12 weeks of implantation.
