چکیده

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Allografts are often used during revision hip replacement surgery for stabilization of the implant. Resorption of the allograft may exceed new bone formation, and instability of the prosthesis can develop. We investigated whether strontium could regulate the imbalance of fast resorption of allograft and slower formation of new bone, because it is both an anabolic and an anticatabolic agent. METHOD Strontium was added to the implant interface environment by doping a hydroxyapatite bone graft extender. 10 dogs each received 2 experimental titanium implants. The implants were inserted within a 2.7-mm concentric gap in cancellous bone. The gap was filled with 50% (v/v) allograft mixed with 50% bone graft extender. The extender either had 5% strontium doping (SrHA) or was undoped (HA). After 4 weeks, osseointegration and mechanical fixation were evaluated by histomorphometry and by push-out test. RESULTS SrHA bone graft extender induced a 1.2-fold increase in volume of new bone, a 1.2-fold increase in allograft remaining in the gap, and a 1.4-fold increase in surface area of the bone graft extender material in contact with new bone compared to HA bone graft extender. All these increases were statistically significant. SrHA bone graft extender did not significantly improve ongrowth of bone onto the implants or improve any of the mechanical push-out parameters compared to HA bone graft extender. INTERPRETATION Doping of the HA bone graft extender with 5% strontium increased gap healing, preserved more of the allograft in the gap, and increased the ongrowth of bone onto the bone graft extender material, but did not improve mechanical fixation.

Lumbar posterolateral fusion with local bone graft plus bone extender compared with iliac crest bone graft: a systematic review

STUDY DESIGN  Systematic review. Study rationale and context:  Bone graft from the iliac crest has been the gold standard in posterolateral spinal fusion procedures, but is associated with chronic pain at the harvest site. Bone graft harvested locally from the spine and combined with extenders may decrease the morbidity associated with iliac graft harvest, but questions remain on the success of...

Factors affecting the cohesion of impaction bone graft.

The role of bone-graft extenders in impaction revision surgery is becoming increasingly important. Tricalcium phosphate and hydroxyapatite have been shown to be both biocompatible and osteoconductive, yet many surgeons remain reluctant to use them. The difficulty in handling bone-graft extenders can be partly alleviated by using porous particles and adding clotted blood. In an in vitro model we...

Tricalcium-phosphate and hydroxyapatite bone-graft extender for use in impaction grafting revision surgery. An in vitro study on human femora.

Impacted morsellised allografts have been used successfully to address the problem of poor bone stock in revision surgery. However, there are concerns about the transmission of pathogens, the high cost and the shortage of supply of donor bone. Bone-graft extenders, such as tricalcium phosphate (TCP) and hydroxyapatite (HA), have been developed to minimise the use of donor bone. In a human cadav...

• The Performance of a Sterile Demineralized Bone Matrix Putty in a Rabbit Posterolateral Fusion Model

INTRODUCTION: Bone fusion, such as in spinal surgeries, may be accelerated through the use of a bone graft substitute (BGS). While autograft was considered the gold standard of treatment, it can be undesirable for use by surgeons due to donor site morbidity and limited availability. As an alternate method of treatment, human allograft Demineralized Bone Matrix (DBM) can be used by surgeons eith...
