The role of fibrin sealant in osteoinduction
1Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Experimental and Clinical Traumatology, Vienna, Austria.
Abstract:
Mesenchymal cell stimulation and angiotropic effects suggest a fibrin sealant-mediated enhancement of osteogenesis. For its glueing capacity fibrin sealant is also regularly used in bone surgery. However, its influence on osteoregeneration is debatable. The effect of fibrin sealant on bone matrix gelatin dependent ectopic and orthotopic osteoinduction in rats was studied. Neither biochemical nor histologic parameters revealed a direct influence of fibrin sealant on any osteoinductive process.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
