Abstract
Massive cortical bone allografts have been found to incorporate slowly into host bone and thus are subject to complications such as nonunion, fatigue fracture, and infection. To better understand and improve the process of osteoinduction in these types of bone grafts, a new experimental model was developed with use of diaphyseal cortical bone grafts from rat tibiae that were prepared by partial demineralization and drilling of 0.33 mm diameter holes with a pulsed, 2.94 microns wavelength, erbium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser. Six types of grafts were analyzed: untreated (Type I), demineralized 25 microns deep (Type II), demineralized 150 microns deep (Type III), laser perforated (Type V), laser perforated and then demineralized 25 microns deep (Type V), and laser perforated and then demineralized 150 microns deep (Type VI). The graft was orthotopically transplanted in the tibia of an adult Sprague-Dawley rat and followed for as long as 4 months. Histologic evaluation at 1 and 4 months postoperatively with use of hematoxylin and eosin staining confirmed that there was new bone growth in Types II, III, V, and VI grafts. The amount of growth was estimated by comparing bone mineral density before implantation with values obtained a...Continue Reading
