Effects of mechanical loading patterns, bone graft, and proximity to periosteum on bone defect healing.

Abstract：

:The goal of this study is to elucidate whether mechanobiological factors, including mechanical loading patterns, presence of bone graft, and proximity to the periosteum, correlate to de novo tissue generation and healing in critical sized long bone defects, which are enveloped by periosteum in situ and are bridged at 16 weeks, in sheep femora. Quantitative histomorphometric measures of defect cross sections show that, along the axis least able to resist bending loads (minor centroidal axis, CA), bone laid down in the first two weeks after surgery exhibits more mineralization albeit less total area compared to bone along the axis most able to resist bending loads (major CA). Similarly, areas of the cross section along the minor CA show a higher degree of perfusion albeit less total area of perfusion compared to bone along the major CA. Furthermore, proximity to the periosteal niche, in conjunction with the presence of bone graft and predominant loading patterns, relates significantly to the radial distribution of early bone apposition and perfusion of bone at 16 weeks after surgery (linear regression with R(2)>0.80). In the absence of graft, early bone density is relatively evenly distributed in the defect zone, as is the intensity of perfused tissue. As measured by a steeper average slope in intensity of fluorochrome (new bone) distribution between the periosteum and the IM nail, the presence of bone graft retards initial bone formation in the defect zone and is associated with less evenly distributed tissue perfusion (steeper slope) persisting 16 weeks after surgery. Finally, although the mean area of bone resorption is not significantly different within or between groups defined by the presence of graft and/or mechanical loading patterns in the defect zone, the mean area of infilling resorption spaces is significantly higher in areas of the defect zone least able to resist bending (minor CA) but is not significantly related to the presence of bone graft. To our knowledge, the use of the major and minor centroidal axes to relate prevailing mechanical loading patterns to area and density of early bone generation in bone defects has not been reported prior to this study and may provide a new means to assess structure-function relationships in de novo bone generation and healing of bone defects.
