Abstract
BACKGROUND: Extracortical bone bridging for treatment of massive bone loss can improve stability and longevity of massive endoprostheses. Osteogenic protein-1 (OP-1), when used with allograft bone, reportedly improves extracortical bone bridging and bone ingrowth. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES: We asked whether OP-1 delivered by hydroxyapatite (HA) without bone grafting could improve bone ingrowth and bone formation in the context of extracortical bone bridging. METHODS: We implanted unilateral segmental femoral diaphyseal replacement prostheses in 18 dogs (three groups of six dogs). The groups consisted of an HA-coated group augmented with OP-1, an HA-coated group, and a plain porous group. Bone grafting techniques were not used to augment bone formation. The implants were retrieved at 12 weeks for histologic assessment. RESULTS: After removing one specimen owing to a complication, 17 femora were analyzed (six HA-coated augmented with OP-1, five HA-coated, and six plain). We observed better bone ingrowth in the HA-coated OP-1 group than in the plain porous and HA-coated groups, with no difference between the latter two groups. There also was better bone apposition and callus height in the HA-coated OP-1 group than in the plain group but no differences between the HA-coated OP-1 and HA-coated groups or between the HA-coated and plain groups. CONCLUSIONS: OP-1 (2.9 mg) delivered by HA-coated segmental replacement prostheses in this canine extracortical bone bridging model revealed improved bone ingrowth over HA-coated implants without OP-1 or plain porous-coated prostheses.
