چکیده
conclusions this study confirmed the efficacy of pw lllt on biomechanical strength, trabecular bone volume, callus volume, and osteoblast number of repairing callus in a complete tibial osteotomy animal model at a relatively late stage of the bone healing process. materials and methods this experimental study was conducted at shahid beheshti university of medical sciences in tehran, iran. we performed complete tibial osteotomies in the right tibias for the population of 15 female rats. the rats were divided randomly into three different groups: i) control rats with untreated bone defects; ii) rats irradiated by a 0.972 j/cm2 pw lllt; and iii) rats irradiated by a 1.5 j/cm2 pw lllt. the right tibias were collected six weeks following the surgery and a three-point bending test was performed to gather results. immediately after biomechanical examination, the fractured bones were prepared for histological examinations. slides were examined using stereological method. results pw lllt significantly caused an increase in maximum force (n) of biomechanical repair properties for osteotomized tibias in the first and second laser groups (30.0 ± 15.9 and 32.4 ± 13.8 respectively) compared to the control group (8.6 ± 4.5) lsd test, p = 0.019, p = 0.011 respectively). there was a significant increase in the osteoblast count of the first and second laser groups (0.53 ± 0.06, 0.41 ± 0.06 respectively) compared to control group (0.31 ± 0.04) (lsd test, p = 0001, p = 0.007 respectively). background fractures pose a major worldwide challenge to public health, causing tremendous disability for the society and families. according to recent studies, many in vivo and in vitro experiments have shown the positive effects of pw lllt on osseous tissue. objectives the aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of infrared pulsed wave low-level laser therapy (pw lllt) on the fracture healing process in a complete tibial osteotomy in a rat model, which was stabilized by an intramedullary pin.

results daily administration of 50 mg/kg ptx (groups 1 and 2) decreased the high stress load in repairing osteotomized femurs when compared with the control group. the highest dose of ptx (200 mg/kg) significantly increased the high stress load when compared with the control group (p = 0.030), group 1 (p = 0.023), group 2 (p = 0.008), and group 3 (p = 0.010), per the lsd findings. materials and...
متن کاملTibial rotational osteotomy with intramedullary nail fixation
There are several theoretic advantages of using intramedullary rod fixation for tibial osteotomy fixation. We performed a retrospective review of patients who were treated with a mid-diaphyseal osteotomy of the tibia fixed with an intramedullary rod for isolated, symptomatic tibial torsion. Forty patients (59 tibias) were included in the study and were followed for a minimum of 12 months or unt...

BACKGROUND Globally, musculoskeletal injuries comprise a major public health problem that contributes to a large burden of disability and suffering. Pentoxifylline (PTX) has been originally used as a hemorheologic drug to treat intermittent claudication. Previous test tube and in vivo studies reported the beneficial effects of PTX on bony tissue. OBJECTIVES This study aims to evaluate the eff...
