Bone formation was histologically and histomorphometrically assessed in rat femoral condyle bone defects filled with bone graft (Bio-Oss®) or left empty. METHODS: Male Wistar rats were induced osteoporotic through orchidectomy (ORX) and SHAM-operated. The animals were divided into three groups: osteoporotic (ORX), osteoporotic treated with ALN (ORX + ALN) and healthy (SHAM). Six weeks after ORX or SHAM surgeries, bone defects were created bilaterally in femoral condyles; one defect was filled with Bio-Oss® and the other one left empty. Bone regeneration within the defects was analyzed by histology and histomorphometry after 4 and 12 weeks. RESULTS: Histological samples showed new bone surrounding Bio-Oss® particles from week 4 onward in all three groups. At week 12, the data further showed that ALN treatment of osteoporotic animals enhanced bone formation to a 10-fold increase compared to non-treated osteoporotic control. Bio-Oss® filling of the defects promoted bone formation at both implantation periods compared to empty controls. CONCLUSION: Our histological and histomorphometric results demonstrate that the enteral administration of alendronate under osteoporotic bone conditions leverages bone defect regeneration to a level comparable to that in healthy bone. Additionally, Bio-Oss® is an effective bone substitute, increasing bone formation, and acting as an osteoconductive scaffold guiding bone growth in both healthy and osteoporotic bone conditions. SIGNIFICANCE: Based on the results of this study, enteral use of ALN mitigates adverse effects of an osteoporotic condition on bone defect regeneration. 01 juni 2023
