ABSTRACT

 

Kamran Kaveh K, Ibrahim R, Ibrahim TA, Abu Bakar MZ, Compact bone repair with or without osteoblsts in rabbits.. Onl J Vet Res, 30 (5): 320-340, 2026. We report effects of autologous osteoblasts and corticocancellous bone graft for repairing compact bone of critical size defect in normal and osteoporotic bone. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell of 6 rabbits were cultured, differentiated into osteoblasts and seeded into scaffold of corticocancellous bone graft and implanted in normal and osteoporotic rabbits. Eight week radiographs monitored osteogenicity. By 8 weeks rabbits were euthanized and implants excised for gross, histological and scanning electron microscopy. Bone graft per se formed through creeping substitution at margin and osteogenesis at centre including osteogenesis, conduction, and induction. For cortico cancellous bone, formation with thin bone trabecullae penetrated entire defect was completely osteoporotic. Compared with corticocancellous bone autograft, we find that corticocancellous bone graft with autogenous marrow-derived osteoblasts was ~39-51% (P < 0.05) more efficient
