Objectives

Despite promising results have shown by osteogenic cell-based demineralized bone matrix composites, they need to be optimized for grafts that act as structural frameworks in load-bearing defects. The aims of this study is attempt to assess the effects of laser perforations on osteoinduction in cortical bone allografts.

Methods

Sixteen wistar rats were divided into two groups according to the type of structural bone allograft; the first: partially demineralized only (Donly) and the second: partially demineralized laser-perforated (DLP). Trans-cortical holes were achieved by Er:YAG laser at a wave length of 2.94 µm in four rows of three holes approximated cylindrical holes 0.5 mm in diameter, with centres 2.5 mm apart. Histologic and histomorphometric analysis were performed at 12 weeks.

Background

Surgical reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament is a common practice to treat the disability or chronic instability of the knee. Several factors associated with success or failure of the ACL reconstruction, including surgical technique and graft material and graft tension. We aimed to show how we can optimize the graft properties and achieve better post surgical outcomes during ACL reconstruction using 3-dimensional computational finite element simulation.

Methods

In this paper, 3-dimensional model of the knee was constructed to investigate the effect of graft tensioning on the knee joint biomechanics. Four different grafts were compared: 1) bone-patellar tendon-bone graft (BPTB) 2) Hamstring tendon 3) BPTB and a band of gracilis 4) Hamstring and a band of gracilis. The initial graft tension was set as “0, 20, 40, or 60N”. The anterior loading was set to 134 N.

Background

Despite promising results have shown by osteogenic cell-based demineralized bone matrix composites, they need to be optimized for grafts that act as structural frameworks in load-bearing defects. The purpose of this experiment is to determine the effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells seeding on partially demineralized laser-perforated structural allografts that have been implanted in critical femoral defects.

Materials and Methods

Thirty-two wistar rats were divided into four groups according to the type of structural bone allograft; the first: partially demineralized only (Donly), the second: partially demineralized stem cell seeded (DST), the third: partially demineralized laser-perforated (DLP), and the fourth: partially demineralized laser-perforated and stem cell seeded (DLPST). Trans-cortical holes were achieved in four rows of three holes approximated cylindrical holes 0.5 mm in diameter, with centres 2.5 mm apart. P3 MSCs were used for graft seeding. Histologic and histomorphometric analysis were performed at 12 weeks.
