Puppies in the second half of their growing period have been observed for one and a half to four and a half months after creation of a superficial femoral arteriovenous fistula on the right side. From measurements of the whole bone and from microradiographic and tetracycline-fluorophore studies of the diaphysial bone, it is believed that the following statistically significant phenomena may be attributed to the influence of the arteriovenous fistula.1. All bones distal to the fistula are influenced in their growth. The tibia and metatarsals become heavier and larger, but retain normal shape. Although stimulation of longitudinal growth is small, it is significant for the tibiae and nearly significant for the femora in these short-term experiments.2. The histological structure of the bones remains normal but quantitative changes are induced. The compact bone is more porous because of an increased number of osteones. Haversian turnover itself is affected in that the individual formation time of osteones tends to become longer, especially in the metatarsals.3. Periosteal new bone formation is immediately stimulated, producing a flare of new bone. This accounts for the increase in diaphysial weight in the tibia but not in the metatarsals, where the same effect results from decreased resorption of old bone.4. Endosteal new bone formation is depressed, especially in the metatarsals, resulting in an enlarged medullary cavity. |
