چکیده

OBJECTIVE To describe a surgical technique using a regenerative approach and internal fixation for reconstruction of critical size bone defect non-union mandibular fractures. STUDY DESIGN Case series. ANIMALS Dogs (n = 6) that had internal fixation of defect non-union mandibular fracture. METHODS In 5 dogs, the repair was staged and extraction of teeth performed during the initial procedure. After 21-98 days (mean, 27 days) pharyngotomy intubation and temporary maxillomandibular fixation were performed. Using an extraoral approach, a locking titanium miniplate was contoured and secured to the mandible. A compression resistant matrix (CRM) infused with rhBMP-2 was implanted in the defect. The implant was then covered with a soft tissue envelope followed by surgical wound closure. RESULTS All dogs healed with intact gingival covering over the mandibular fracture site defect and had immediate return to normal function and correct occlusion. Hard-tissue formation was observed clinically within 2 weeks and solid cortical bone formation within 3 months. CT findings in 1 dog at 3 months postoperatively demonstrated that the newly regenerated mandibular bone had 92% of the bone density and porosity compared to the contralateral side. Long-term follow-up revealed excellent outcome. CONCLUSION Mandibular reconstruction using internal fixation and CRM infused with rhBMP-2 is an excellent solution for the treatment of critical size defect non-union fractures in dogs.

Improving bone formation in a rat femur segmental defect by controlling bone morphogenetic protein-2 release.

Nonunion is a common complication in open fractures and other severe bone injuries. Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) delivered on a collagen sponge enhances healing of fractures. However, the burst release of rhBMP-2 necessitates supra-physiological doses of rhBMP-2 to achieve a robust osteogenic effect, which introduces risk of ectopic bone formation and severe inflamma...

Reconstruction of Rabbit Experimental Mandibular Defect with rhBMP-2 and Atelocollagen Gel —μCT Observation in Vivo and Histological Examination —

A rabbit experimental mandibular defect was reconstructed with rhBMP-2 and atelocollagen gel, and examined using μCT (R_mCT, Rigaku Mechatronics, Tokyo) in vivo and histological techniques. Using eight rabbits, we made an experimental mandibular defect and filled it with 1% atelocollagen gel including rhBMP2 10ìg (Astellas Pharma Inc.). In μCT observation, the density was slightly elevated at t...

The use of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 for the treatment of a delayed union following femoral neck open-wedge osteotomy

Although the clinical potential of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) has been known for decades, their use in humans has only been approved for a limited number of orthopaedic conditions. Promising results in animals demonstrate the utility of BMP-2 in regional bone repair without using osteoconductors. To our knowledge, no comparable human case has been described. We report the case of a 50-y...

Bone Regeneration Enhanced by Antigen-Extracted Xenogeneic Cancellous Bone Graft with rhBMP-2 in Rabbits Mandibular Defect Repair

The effects of large piece xenogeneic bone which was separated from healthy pigs as a scaffold on repair of mandibular defect was investigated and the applicability of antigen-extracted xenogeneic cancellous bone (AXCB) soaked with rhBMP-2 in bone defect repair was assessed. Mandibular defects were created in 48 New Zealand Rabbits, and then randomly divided into 4 groups, which was grafted in ...
