Abstract

The use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for improving of bone defect healing is discussed controversially. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of PRP in combination with autologous cancellous graft on bone defect healing in a critical metaphyseal long bone defect. A critical size defect in the tibial metaphysis of 16 mini-pigs was filled either with autologous cancellous graft as control group or with autologous cancellous graft combined with autologous PRP. Compared to native blood platelets were enriched about 4.9-fold in the PRP. After 6 weeks, the specimens were assessed by X-ray and histological evaluation. Histomorphometrical analysis revealed that the area of new bone was significantly higher in the PRP group concerning the central area of the defect zone (p<0.02) as well as the cortical defect zone (p<0.01). All defects showed substantial new bone formation, but only defects of the PRP group regenerated entirely. The PRP group was superior to the control group even in the semi-quantitative assessment of the osseous bridging in both observed areas of the defect. Within the limits of the present study it could be demonstrated that PRP combined with autologous cancellous graft leads to a significantly better bone ...Continue Reading

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
