Abstract

BACKGROUND: A combination of synthetic porous materials and BMP-2 has been used to promote fracture healing. For bone healing to be successful, it is important to use growth factor delivery systems that enable continuous release of BMP-2 at the fracture site. We previously reported that in situ-formed gels (IFGs) consisting of hyaluronan (HyA)-tyramine (TA), horseradish peroxidase and hydrogen peroxide enhance the bone formation ability of hydroxyapatite (Hap)/BMP-2 composites in a posterior lumbar fusion model. OBJECTIVE: We examined the effectiveness of IFGs-HyA/Hap/BMP-2 composites for facilitating osteogenesis in refractory fracture model mice. METHODS: After establishing the refractory fracture model, animals were either treated at the site of fracture with Hap harboring BMP-2 (Hap/BMP-2) or IFGs-HyA with Hap harboring BMP-2 (IFGs-HyA/Hap/BMP-2) (n = 10 each). Animals that underwent the fracture surgery but did not receive any treatment were considered the control group (n = 10). We determined the extent of bone formation at the fracture site according to findings on micro-computed tomography and histological studies four weeks following treatment. RESULTS: Animals treated with IFGs-HyA/Hap/BMP-2 demonstrated significantly greater bone volume, bone mineral content and bone union than those treated with vehicle or IFG-HyA/Hap alone. CONCLUSIONS: IFGs-HyA/Hap/BMP-2 could be an effective treatment option for refractory fractures.
