Abstract
AIM
Osteogenic Protein-1 (OP-1) is known to be a very potent osteoinductive growth factor. However, experimental studies using critical-size defect models in the weight-bearing lower extremity show non-uniform results. Therefore, we studied the osteoinductivity of OP-1 in a tibial worst-case defect model in sheep. Potential improvement of OP-1 induced new bone formation using a composite graft with autogenous bone marrow was to be investigated.
METHOD
In 19 sheep a 5 cm segmental defect of the tibial diaphysis was treated by intramedullary nailing and filled with the following implants: 5 mg OP-1 + inactivated demineralized bone matrix (group 1; n = 6); 5 mg OP-1 + inactivated demineralized bone matrix + 5 ml autogenous bone marrow (group 2; n = 5); autogenous cancellous bone (group 3; n = 4), or inactivated demineralized bone matrix + 5 ml autogenous bone marrow (group 4; n = 4).
RESULTS
In total, 3 out of 10 defect sites treated with OP-1 were completely bridged radiographically by 12 weeks. Initially, x-rays showed accelerated new bone formation by use of the composite grafts containing OP-1 and autogenous bone marrow. However, 12 weeks post surgery 3D-CT-volumetry could not detect significant differences of new bone formation within the defect sites treated by OP-1 with or without bone marrow, while new bone formation by autogenous cancellous bone was better than by OP-1.
CONCLUSION
In our worst case defect model, the osteoinductive potential of OP-1 is initially accelerated but 12 weeks post surgery not increased when combined with autogenous bone marrow transplantation. So far, critical segmental bone defects of the weight-bearing lower extremity can not be bridged regularly in our model by use of OP-1. Therefore, for the treatment of such critical defects with rotational instability the examined application device of OP-1 can not yet be recommended.
