Fixation of experimental osteotomy of the distal femur with biodegradable thread in rabbits

A distal femoral osteotomy on 24 rabbits was fixed with biodegradable polyglycolic acid (PGA) thread pulled through drill holes made on both sides of the osteotomy. Follow-up times were one, three, six, 12 and 24 weeks. The distal part of each femur was removed, fixed in alcohol, embedded in methylm...

description A distal femoral osteotomy on 24 rabbits was fixed with biodegradable polyglycolic acid (PGA) thread pulled through drill holes made on both sides of the osteotomy. Follow-up times were one, three, six, 12 and 24 weeks. The distal part of each femur was removed, fixed in alcohol, embedded in methylmethacrylate, sawed to 80 microns thick for oxytetracycline (OTC)-labeling studies and microradiography, and sectioned at 5 microns for histologic studies. As judged by histologic microradiographic, and OTC-labeling studies, 19 of 24 osteotomies were healing normally; after six weeks of follow-up examination, union of 11 of 14 osteotomies was observed on radiographs. On the basis of the present study, PGA threads may be promising for the fixation of osteotomies of the metaphyseal cancellous bone in rabbits.
