Abstract
The combination of autograft, BMP and bisphosphonate has been shown to produce strong calluses. In this study, without autograft we investigate the effect of bisphosphonate treatment on BMP-induced calluses, both in bending and in rotation. Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 42) underwent femoral osteotomy and BMP-7 treatment. At 2 weeks an injection of saline or bisphosphonate was administered. The animals were sacrificed after 6 weeks. Both femurs were tested in either three-point bending or twisting. All femurs healed. BMP + bisphosphonate-treatment led to larger calluses (p < 0.05) and in three-point bending, higher ultimate force (p < 0.01) and greater stiffness (p < 0.05) than BMP alone. The BMP + bisphosphonate group was nearly 60%... (More)
The combination of autograft, BMP and bisphosphonate has been shown to produce strong calluses. In this study, without autograft we investigate the effect of bisphosphonate treatment on BMP-induced calluses, both in bending and in rotation. Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 42) underwent femoral osteotomy and BMP-7 treatment. At 2 weeks an injection of saline or bisphosphonate was administered. The animals were sacrificed after 6 weeks. Both femurs were tested in either three-point bending or twisting. All femurs healed. BMP + bisphosphonate-treatment led to larger calluses (p < 0.05) and in three-point bending, higher ultimate force (p < 0.01) and greater stiffness (p < 0.05) than BMP alone. The BMP + bisphosphonate group was nearly 60% stronger than controls, while the BMP group did not reach the strength (p < 0.05) nor stiffness (p < 0.01) of the controls. In the twisting test, similar trends were found but less pronounced. Three-point bending produced transverse callus associated fractures, whereas the twisting test produced spiral fractures, located in the structurally weaker distal femur. BMP + bisphosphonate-treatment produces calluses that are mechanically superior to calluses induced by BMP alone, when tested both in three-point bending and in twisting. For the mechanical evaluation of pharmacologically enhanced calluses with breaking strengths exceeding the native bone, the bending test is recommended. © 2014 Orthopaedic Research Society.
