biomechanical evaluation of spontaneous repair of osteochondral defects in the rabbit knee
نویسندگان
چکیده
background and objectives : examination of cartilage repair in animal work is dependent upon the thickness and radius of the induced impalement. full-thickness defects with a radius of 3 mm have been commonly used in animal studies to evaluate new procedures designed to improve the quality of articular cartilage repair. the aim of the present study was to define the biomechanical characteristics of the repair of 5×4 mm full-thickness osteochondral defects in adult male rabbits. methods : in a controlled clinical trial study 5 mm diameter and 4 mm deep osteochondral defects were drilled in the femoral patellar groove of twenty-one rabbits, and examined at 4, 8, and 16 weeks. the left knee was kept intact and was regarded as control. the knee joints were removed, and both legs were examined biomechanically by in situ indentation method at three time intervals (4, 8, 16 weeks). the instantaneous and equilibrium elastic- modulus (after 900 second) were measured during the test. results : there were no differences in cartilage mechanical properties (instantaneous and equilibrium elastic-modulus) in different weeks (4, 8, 16 weeks) in the two groups (p=0/08). however, significant differences were seen between the experimental and control groups in 16 weeks in instantaneous elastic_ modulus (p= 0.44). it suggests that new tissue in this group had more stiffness than control in 16 weeks. conclusion : full-thickness osteochondral defect, measuring 5×4 mm in the patellar groove of the adolescent rabbit knee healed spontaneously.

Blocking of tumor necrosis factor activity promotes natural repair of osteochondral defects in rabbit knee
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Osteochondral defects have a limited capacity for repair. We therefore investigated the effects of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) signal blockade by etanercept (human recombinant soluble TNF receptor) on the repair of osteochondral defects in rabbit knees. MATERIAL AND METHODS Osteochondral defects (5 mm in diameter) were created in the femoral patellar groove in rabbits. ...

BACKGROUND Although differences in the results of the bone marrow stimulation technique between the knee and ankle have been reported, a detailed mechanism for those differences has not been clarified. The purpose of this study was to examine whether morphological differences between the knee and ankle joint affect the results of drilling as treatment for osteochondral defects in a rabbit model...

سابقه و هدف: با توجه به تحقیقات انجام شده چنین به نظر می‌رسد که عامل زمان در ترمیم بافت استخوانی تخریب شده به روش استئوتومی در شرایط In Vivo حیوانی، موثر بوده است. هدف از این مطالعه تجربی، بررسی خصوصیات مکانیکی و رادیوگرافی قسمت میانی تنه استخوان درشت نی سوراخ شده خرگوش، در طی روند ترمیم می‌باشد. مواد و روش‌ها: در این تحقیق از 12 خرگوش سفید نر بالغ با نژاد نیوزیلندی استفاده شد. ابتدا با استفاده...
متن کاملGrafts for the Repair of Osteochondral Defects
We describe a new method of biological repair of osteochondral defects. In rabbit knees an osteochondral defect was reconstructed with a cab-osseous graft made of a superficial sheet of medullary fracture callus attached to a base of cancellous bone. This was taken from the iliac bone of the same animal which had been osteotomised ten days earlier. The reparative tissues were evaluated for 24 w...
