The stability of osteosyntheses bridging defects.

    Summary

    Internal plate and bone graft fixation significantly enhanced stability in canine femoral defects. This combined osteosynthesis offers a viable option for massive bone grafts when mechanical stability is crucial.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Orthopedics
    • Biomaterials Science
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Segmental femoral defects pose significant challenges in canine orthopedic surgery.
    • Maintaining stability is critical for the biological integration of bone grafts.
    • Current methods may not always provide sufficient biomechanical support.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the biomechanical stability of different osteosynthesis methods for segmental femoral defects in dogs.
    • To compare the effectiveness of single plate, double plate, and plate with cortical bone graft fixation.
    • To determine the influence of fixation methods on the stability of massive bone grafts.

    Main Methods:

    • Creation of 2 cm segmental defects in the midshaft femur of canine subjects.
    • Application of three fixation techniques: single plate, double plate, and single plate with contralateral cortical bone graft.
    • Fixation of bone grafts with screws to mitigate bending loads.
    • Biomechanical testing under increasing axial stress to assess stability.

    Main Results:

    • Combined osteosynthesis using an internal plate and contralateral cortical bone graft significantly increased stability in the defect region.
    • This enhanced stability is attributed to the improved biomechanical support provided by the combined fixation.
    • Illustrative data presented in Figs. 3 and 4 demonstrate the superior performance of the combined technique.

    Conclusions:

    • Absolute stability in the grafted area is paramount for successful biological integration of transplanted cortical bone.
    • While autologous cancellous bone is often preferred, massive bone grafts remain indicated under specific conditions.
    • The combined internal plate and contralateral cortical bone graft fixation provides the necessary mechanical stability for such indications.
