Macroscopic and histological study of biologically acceptable osteochondral repairs

چکیده
Este estudo teve como finalidade avaliar macroscopicamente e histológicamente defeitos osteocondrais já cicatrizados, também conhecidos como reparos. Foram utilizados seis coelhos machos, adultos, albinos da raça Nova Zelândia. Defeitos cilíndricos osteocondrais de 3.2 mm de diâmetro por 4.0 mm de profundidade foram criados cirurgicamente em ambos côndilos femorais mediais. O cilindro osteocondral retirado do joelho esquerdo (defeito não tratado) foi implantado no joelho direito (joelho tratado). Comparou-se macroscopicamente e histológicamente ambos tipos de defeitos após doze semanas de evolução. A avaliação macroscópica de todos os defeitos mostrou evolução para reparos denominados biologicamente aceitáveis. O termo “biologicamente aceitável” foi utilizado para definir reparos, que à observação macroscópica, se apresentaram como tecido neo-formado semelhante à fibrocartilagem, brilhante, liso, firme, em continuidade com a cartilagem adjacente. Como todos os defeitos, tratados e não tratados, eram macroscopicamente semelhantes, realizou-se um estudo histológico comparativo para averiguar qual tipo de tecido de reparação se formava em ambos defeitos. Pela análise histológica dos reparos biologicamente aceitáveis, concluiu-se que houve formação de tecido cartilaginoso hialino nos defeitos tratados com enxerto autólogo e de tecido fibrocartilaginoso nos defeitos não tratados.

Platelet-Rich Plasma May Improve Osteochondral Donor Site Healing in a Rabbit Model
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to assess the effect(s) of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on osteochondral donor site healing in a rabbit model. METHODS Osteochondral donor sites 3 mm in diameter and 5 mm in depth were created bilaterally on the femoral condyles of 12 New Zealand White rabbits. Knees were randomized such that one knee in each rabbit received an intra-articular injection of ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the feasibility of repairing osteochondral defects of critical size by performing mosaicplasty using multiple sliced costal cartilage grafts, which enables repair of extensively injured knees using grafts from a single rib. DESIGN Critical osteochondral defects were prepared on the femoral groove of skeletally mature Japanese white rabbits. Costal cartilage grafts fro...
متن کاملEffects of osteochondral defect size on cartilage regeneration using a double-network hydrogel
BACKGROUND There has been increased interest in one-step cell-free procedures to avoid the problems related to cell manipulation and its inherent disadvantages. We have studied the chondrogenic induction ability of a PAMPS/PDMAAm double-network (DN) gel and found it to induce chondrogenesis in animal osteochondral defect models. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the healing p...

OBJECTIVES Mesenchymal stem cells have the ability to differentiate into various cell types, and thus have emerged as promising alternatives to chondrocytes in cell-based cartilage repair methods. The aim of this experimental study was to investigate the effect of bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells combined with platelet rich fibrin on osteochondral defect repair and articular cartilage...

BACKGROUND The study aimed to evaluate the combined effect of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) biophysical stimulation and bone marrow concentrate (BMC) in osteochondral defect healing in comparison to the treatment with scaffold alone. METHODS An osteochondral lesion of both knees was performed in ten rabbits. One was treated with a collagen scaffold alone and the other with scaffold seed...
