The rabbit costal cartilage reconstructive surgical model.
Rib grafts in facial plastic surgery are becoming more frequently used. Small animal models, although not ideal may be used to emulate costal cartilage-based procedures. A surgical characterization of this tissue will assist future research in the selection of appropriate costal segments, based on quantitative and qualitative properties. The objective of this study is to assess the surgical ana...
متن کاملCostal cartilage transplantation for treatment of growth plate injury in a rabbit model
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of allogenic costal cartilage transplantation on preventing bony bridge formation and angular deformities for the treatment of partial growth plate injury using a rabbit model. METHODS An experimental model of partial growth injury was created by resecting the medial part of the proximal tibial growth plate in male six-week-old N...
متن کاملMechanical Characterization of Costal Cartilage
Rib fractures are a common morbidity following automotive crashes. While the rib bones are wellcharacterized, and articular cartilage from joints such as the knee and shoulder has been extensively mechanically characterized, almost no mechanical examination has been performed of the rib-cage costal cartilage. Costal cartilage is a hyaline cartilage, like articular cartilage, but it differs from...
متن کاملThe proteinpolysaccharides of human costal cartilage.
Water-soluble proteinpolysaccharides, called PPL, can be extracted from bovine nucleus pulposus in yields of 45%, and from bovine nasal cartilage in yields of 37% of the dry tissue weight. From human costal cartilage only 7% can be extracted. The method used to separate PPL from each of the first two tissues into four distinct fractions separates the PPL of human costal cartilage into four frac...
متن کاملEffect of vanadate on cartilage-matrix proteoglycan synthesis in rabbit costal chondrocyte cultures
The effect of vanadate on proteoglycan synthesis by cultured rabbit costal chondrocytes was examined. Rabbit chondrocytes were seeded at low densities and grown to confluency in medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, and then the serum concentration was reduced to 0.3%. At the low serum concentration, chondrocytes adopted a fibroblastic morphology. Addition of 4 microM vanadate to the...
