Abstract

The immature rabbit knee model for epiphyseal plate transplantations has been used by a number of investigators. Rigid fixation of the femoral osteosynthesis has been difficult to achieve reliably. This paper describes a new technique for obtaining consistent and satisfactory skeletal fixation in this model. The tibia was internally fixed with an ASIF/AO four‐hole minifragment plate. The femur was fixed with a 2.4 mm Steinman pin supplemented with two 26 gauge stainless steel interosseous wire loops placed at right angles to each other. Β© Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

A model for orthotopic whole knee transplantation in syngeneic Lewis rats is presented. The donor knee was isolated on the femoral vessels 1 cm superior and inferior to the knee joint. A minimal muscle cuff was left attached to ensure adequate circulation to the graft via the popliteal vessels. The
