In the context of cleft repair in animal research in rat models, different areas can be used for bone grafting. The aim of the present study was to present the tuberosity of the ischium as a new donor site and to evaluate its quality in relation to an artificial alveolar cleft. Four weeks after creating experimental alveolar clefts in seven Wistar rats, the repair was performed in the now twelve-week-old male animals using bone blocks grafted from the ischial tuberosity. Two days before surgery and two as well as twenty-eight days after surgery, microCT scans were performed, and the grafted bone blocks were analyzed regarding height, width, thickness, and volume. Additionally, bone mineral density (BMD) and bone volume fraction (BV/TV) were measured in the repaired cleft. The mean bone volume of the graft was about 19.77 ± 7.77mm. Immediately after jaw reconstruction the BMD and BV/TV were about 0.54 ± 0.05 g/cm and 54.9 ± 5.07% for the transplant and about 1.13 ± 0.08 g/cm and 94.5 ± 3.70%, respectively, for the surrounding bone. Four weeks later the BMD and BV/TV were about 0.57 ± 0.13 g/cm and 56.60 ± 13.70% for the transplant and about 11.17 ± 0.07 g/cm and 97.50 ± 2.15%, respectively, for the surrounding bone. A hip fracture was found in four of the animals after surgery. The ischial tuberosity offers large bone blocks, which are sufficient for cleft repair in the rat model. However, the bone quality regarding BMD and BV/TV is less compared with the surrounding bone of the alveolar cleft, even after a period of 4 weeks, despite recognizable renovation processes.
在大鼠模型的动物研究中进行腭裂修复时,不同区域可用于骨移植。本研究的目的是介绍坐骨结节作为一种新的供体部位,并评估其与人工牙槽裂相关的质量。在7只Wistar大鼠中制造实验性牙槽裂4周后,对12周龄的雄性动物进行修复,使用从坐骨结节移植的骨块。在手术前两天以及手术后两天和28天进行显微CT扫描,并分析移植骨块的高度、宽度、厚度和体积。此外,在修复的腭裂中测量骨密度(BMD)和骨体积分数(BV/TV)。移植骨的平均骨体积约为19.77±7.77mm。颌骨重建后立即,移植骨的BMD和BV/TV分别约为0.54±0.05g/cm和54.9±5.07%,周围骨分别约为1.13±0.08g/cm和94.5±3.70%。四周后,移植骨的BMD和BV/TV分别约为0.57±0.13g/cm和56.60±13.70%,周围骨分别约为11.17±0.07g/cm和97.50±2.15%。术后在4只动物中发现髋部骨折。坐骨结节可提供大的骨块,足以用于大鼠模型中的腭裂修复。然而,即使经过4周,尽管有明显的修复过程,但与牙槽裂周围骨相比,BMD和BV/TV方面的骨质量较低。
