Response of growth plate to trauma and metallic implants in a rabbit model

Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze the importance of the type of the implant, used in epiphysis fractures. For this purpose, immature New Zealand rabbits were divided into two groups. In the first group, Salter-Harris type IV epiphysis fracture was surgically produced at the right distal femoral epiphysis, then reduced anatomically and fixed with two parallel 1 mm. diameter Kirschner wires crossing the growth plate. In the second group two parallel Kirschner wires crossing the growth plate were placed at the right femoral distal epiphysis. Intact left distal femurs of the second group were used as control group. Rabbits were killed at 3 rd and 6 th weeks postoperatively. During the histopathologic examination no significant difference was found between the Kirschner and control groups. Narrowing of the growth plate and hemorrhage were the findings observed in the fracture group. Kirschner wires were thought to be more advantageous than the screws or threaded pins in the surgical treatment of epiphysis fractures. It was concluded that, the damage observed after the surgical treatment of epiphyseal fractures was primarily due to the fracture itself, if an appropriate implant had been used.
