To investigate the disparity in early revascularization of the membranous and endochondral bone grafts.
Twenty Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups of 10 each. Full-thickness cranial (membranous) and split-thickness iliac crest (endochondral) onlay bone grafts were placed subperiosteally onto the snout of the animal without bony fixation. At 7 and 14 days after grafting the bone grafts together with the recipient sites were harvested. Revascularization was studied utilizing opacifying injection and computerized image analysis technique.
The extent of vascularization at 7 days was 11.88% and 22.33% in membranous and endochondral bone grafts, respectively, and they developed to be 15.93% and 34.93% at 14 days, respectively.
The results indicated that endochondral bone grafts were more rapidly revascularized than membranous bone grafts at 7 and 14 days (P < 0.05). Differences in graft architecture are theorized to account for the relationship between the vascularization and volume maintenance in the bones of different embryonic origin.
