Objectives: To analyze the radiologic results of patients treated with bone defects treated with beta-tricalcium phostphate (β-TCP) in orthopedic surgery. Methods: Medical records of 49 patients, consisting of 24 (49.0%) men and 25 (51.0%) women were retrospectively reviewed. Graft incorporation was evaluated based on Irwin’s radiologic staging. Results: The explanatory power of the total regression equation in Irwin’s stage at 3 months postoperatively according to three explanatory variables, namely graft tightness, age at diagnosis, and lesion volume, was 65.6%; the explanatory power of Irwin’s stage at 6 months postoperatively according to two variables, namely lesion volume and graft tightness, was 32.9%; and the explanatory power of Irwin’s stage at 9 months postoperatively for two variables, namely longitudinal lesion length and graft tightness in the total regression, was 30.8%. Conclusions: Graft tightness, lesion volume, age at diagnosis, and longitudinal lesion length are the common factors affecting graft incorporation.
