Abstract:
STUDY DESIGN:A large animal study comparing interbody fusion of a bioresorbable scaffold loaded with either low-dose recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP-2) or bone marrow-derived multipotent stromal cells (BMSCs). OBJECTIVE:To compare the quality of fusion resulting from implantation of medical grade poly (ε-caprolactone)-20% tricalcium phosphate (mPCL/TCP) scaffolds and two different bone growth stimulating agents. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA:Nondegradable cages have been used for interbody fusion with good results. However, the overall advantage of lifelong implantation of a nondegradable device remains a subject of ongoing debate. The use of bioresorbable scaffolds might offer superior alternatives. In this study, we evaluated the quality of fusion obtained with two potential bone graft substitutes. METHODS:Eleven Yorkshire pigs underwent a bisegmental (L2/L3; L4/L5) anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) in four groups, namely: (1) mPCL/TCP + 0.6 mg rhBMP-2; (2) mPCL/TCP + BMSCs; (3) mPCL/TCP (negative control); and (4) autologous bone grafts (positive control). RESULTS. The mean radiographic scores at 9 months were 3.0, 1.7, 1.0, and 1.8 for groups 1 to 4, respectively. The bone volume fraction of group 1 was two-folds higher than group 2. Histology, micro-computed tomographic scanning and biomechanical evaluation demonstrated solid and comparable fusion between groups 1 and 4. However, group 2 showed inferior quality of fusion when compared with groups 1 and 4 while group 3 showed no fusion even at 9 months. In addition, there was no evidence of implant rejection, chronic inflammation or any other complications. CONCLUSION:mPCL/TCP scaffolds loaded with low-dose rhBMP-2 is comparable to autograft bone as a bone graft substitute in this large animal ALIF model. Although BMSCs lagged behind autograft bone and rhBMP-2, evidence of bone ingrowth in this group warrants further investigation. Our results suggest that mPCL/TCP scaffolds loaded with rhBMP-2 or BMSCs may be a viable alternative to conventional cages and autograft bone.
