Popis: | Tendon graft healing in bone tunnels for the fixation of intra-articular ligament reconstructions may limit clinical outcome by delaying healing. This study assesses the effects of hydrogel-mediated delivery of bone anabolic growth factors in a validated model of tendon-to-bone tunnel healing. Forty-five Wistar rats were randomly allocated into three groups (BMP2-treated, GSK126-treated, and placebo). All animals underwent a tendon-to-bone tunnel reconstruction. Healing was evaluated at 4 weeks by biomechanical assessment, micro-computed tomography (bone mineral density, bone volume, cross sectional area of bone tunnels), and traditional histology. Adverse events associated with the hydrogel-mediated delivery of drugs were not observed. Results of our biomechanical assessment demonstrated favorable trends in animals treated with bone anabolic factors for energy absorption (P = 0.116) and elongation (P = 0.054), while results for force to failure (P = 0.691) and stiffness (P = 0.404) did not show discernible differences. Cross sectional areas for BMP2-treated animals were reduced, but neither BMP2 nor GSK126 administration altered bone mineral density (P = 0.492) or bone volume in the bone tunnel. These results suggest a novel and positive effect of bone anabolic factors on tendon-to-bone tunnel healing. Histological evaluation confirmed absence of collagen fibers crossing the soft tissue-bone interface indicating immature graft integration as expected at this time point. Our study indicates that hydrogel-mediated delivery of BMP2 and GSK126 appears to be safe and has the potential to enhance tendon-to-bone tunnel healing in ligament reconstructions. |
