SummaryThe effect of lipid extraction, partial decalcification, iodoacetate treatment and glutaraldehyde (GA) cross-linking on incorporation of radiation-sterilized cancellous bone allografts was compared to unmodified radiation-sterilized cancellous bone allografts and autogenous cancellous bone grafts in a cortical defect model in sheep tibia. Incorporation of the grafts was compared radiographically and histologically 56 days after implantation. The quantity and depth of extension of fluorescent label into the graft were evaluated from photomicrographs. GA cross-linked allografts were more poorly incorporated and had the least penetration of tetracycline-labelled bone. All other allografts were incorporated similarly to the autografts except that tetracycline- labelled bone was present to a greater depth in the autografts. The minimal differences between allografts and autografts may be explained by a reduction of the immunogenicity of all allografts by freezing and by radiation sterilization. GA cross-linking prevented resorption of bone. Ingrowth may have been inhibited by residual GA.Chemically modified cancellous bone allografts were implanted in sheep tibia. Their incorporation was compaed to unmodified allografts and autografts using microradiographs and histological evaluation. Glutaraldehyde cross-linked allografts were minimally resorbed and had little bone ingrowth. All other allografts were well incorporated. Bone ingrowth into autografts was more rapid but extent of incorporation after 56 days was similar to allografts.

SummaryThis report has documented the repair and healing of two ilial fractures in dogs which were compounded by the presence of a cemented acetabular prosthesis. While specific recommendations can not be made from such a small number of cases, the information presented herein suggests that such fractures will heal without complication if aseptic surgical techniques and standard methods of internal fixation are employed. The authors strongly recommend the prophylactic use of intravenous antibiotics and the placement of cancellous bone graft when the repair of such fractures is attempted.Two traumatic ilial fractures involving the cement/bone interface of acetabular prostheses were repaired using lag screws, cerclage wires, and autogenous bone grafts. The fractures healed and ambulatory function was regained.

SummaryTwo perforated stainless steel cylinders and autogenous cancellous bone were implanted into each of the distal intertarsal and tarsometatarsal joints of seven horses. In two control horses holes were drilled into each joint and autogenous cancellous bone was implanted without stainless steel cylinders. Horses which had cylinders implanted in the distal tarsal joints exhibited less lameness and were more comfortable following surgery than were the control horses. Fracture of the third tarsal, central tarsal, or third metatarsal occurred in five of the seven horses implanted with stainless steel cylinders within 45 days of surgery. Two implanted horses and two control horses were observed for five months after surgery. Partial fusion of the distal tarsal joints occurred in all four horses. Control horses were more lame than the implanted horses and developed a large bony exostosis over the medial distal tarsus.
