Abstract

As per Bentham Science’s policy, the following article has been retracted upon approval of the Editor-in-Chief (Dr. Jason Carey) of “The Open Biomedical Engineering Journal”.

Title: “An Injectable Complex of β-tricalcium Phosphate Granules, Hyaluronate, and rhFGF-2 on Repair of Long-bone Fractures with Large Fragments; Open Biomed. Eng. J., vol. 8; pp. 52-59.”

Authors: T. Tanaka*, Y. Kumagae, M. Chazono, H. Komaki, S. Kitasato, A. Kakuta and K. Marumo

The above article is a near duplicate publication by the same team of authors (in a different order) that also includes duplicate figures of the article entitled “Use of an Injectable Complex of β-Tricalcium Phosphate Granules, Hyaluronate, and Fibroblast Growth Factor-2 on Repair of Unstable Intertrochanteric Fractures” Open Biomed. Eng. J., 2012, vol. 6, pp. 98-103. Bentham OPEN apologizes to the readers of the journal for not detecting this omission during the publishing process.
