Otospongiosis-like lesions were induced in rats by immunizing them with native type II collagen. Immunized rats had antibody responses specific for native type II collagen and developed otospongiosis-like lesions. The spongiotic lesion was characterized by numerous osteocytes and osteoblasts in the vascular spaces and by dark staining probably due to the chemical alteration of ground substances. Bone resorption and new bone formation were clearly visible. Immunofluorescence studies demonstrated deposition of immunoglobulin and complement on the bone matrix and wall within the area of spongiosis. An antibody-mediated etiopathogenesis was suspected.

SummaryThe aim of this study was to determine the effects of intra-articular hyaluronic acid on meniscal healing. Circular defects, 1.0 mm in diameter, were made in the anterior third of the medial meniscus in rabbits. In one joint, 0.4 ml hyaluronic acid (Healon®) was instilled, and in the contralateral (control) joint, 0.4 ml Ringer’s saline. Four rabbits were killed after four, eight and 12 weeks and the menisci examined histologically. By eight weeks most of the lesions had healed by filling with hyaline-like cartilage. Healing was not improved by hyaluronic acid treatment. The repair tissue stained strongly with alcian blue, and the presence of type II collagen, keratan sulphate, and chondroitin sulphate was demonstrated by immunohistochemical localisation. In contrast to the circular defects, longitudinal incisions made in the medial menisci of a further six rabbits did not show any healing after 12 weeks, indicating that the shape of the lesion largely determined the potential for healing.The effect of hyaluronic acid on meniscal healing was tested in a rabbit model. With one millimeter circular lesions in the medial meniscus, healing by filling with hyalinelike cartilage was not significantly affected by the application of hyaluronic acid intra-articularly at the time of surgery, compared to saline controls, as assessed histologically four, eight and 12 weeks after the operation.
