Abstract
The purpose of this study was to establish a reliable model of metaphyseal bone healing and to use this model to investigate the effect of recombinant human osteogenic protein 1 (rhOPโ1; BMPโ7) and parathyroid hormone fragment (PTH 1โ34) on healing. A wedgeโshaped osteotomy was created in the distal tibia of 16โweekโold female New Zealand White rabbits (nโ=โ20) and was bridged with a customโmade external fixator. Five experimental groups of four animals each were investigated. In groups 1โ4 the osteotomy gap was filled with tricalcium phosphate (TCP), and the gap was left unfilled in group 5 (โnormal healingโ). In group 1, 200 ยตg OPโ1 was mixed in with the TCP. Groups 2 and 3 received daily subcutaneous injections of 10 and 40 ยตg/kg PTH, respectively, beginning on postoperative day 1. Radiographs were taken weekly. Following sacrifice on postoperative day 28, peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT), histology, and mechanical testing (axial compression and torsion) were performed. Only one animal failed to complete the full 4โweek time course, and no infections were encountered. Bone healing occurred in all animals. OPโ1 stimulated bone formation locally, while the lower dose of PTH enhanced bone formation systemically (pโ<โ0.05). Tibiae treated with OPโ1 exhibited higher torsional strength (pโ=โ0.04) than those in the normal healing group. These results indicate that a reliable and reproducible surgical model of metaphyseal healing has been established. In addition, differences in systemic versus local effects of PTH and OPโ1 in accelerating metaphyseal fracture healing were found. ยฉ 2007 Orthopaedic Research Society.
