✦ Synopsis

Abstract

This study describes a rat model of allograft osteotomy healing. An intercalary skeletal defect was created in adult Lewis rats by resecting a 2‐cm segment of the femur in the diaphysis, including the periosteum and the cuff of muscle layers. The skeletal defects were replaced with fresh‐frozen devascularized intercalary allografts from Sprague‐Dawley rats. A transverse osteotomy was made in the middle of the allograft. The osteolomized segments were stabilized with an intramedullary threaded Kirschner wire, which allowed immediate ambulation. Radiographic and histological examination at 4 and 8 weeks revealed a charactcristic healing process at three different interfaces. Radiographically, the distal metaphyseal host‐donor junction healed faster than the proximal diaphyscal host‐donor interface. The osteotomy site did not have evidence of an intramembranous or endochondral repair process. This model can serve as a baseline for assessing allograft incorporation and fracture repair.
