The effect of embryonic mesenchymal tissue on fracture healing

Abstract

Bone grafts are used most frequently beside other methods for problems occuring with healing after trauma or tumors and for repair of bone defects. Ashton et al. have studied bone marrow and demonstrated that both bone and cartilage of an embryonic nature are produced by differentiated marrow stromal cells, suggesting that the undifferentiated precursor cell of the postnatal marrow has the same potential as the undifferentiated mesenchymal cell found in early embryonal stages of development. Our aim in this study was to evaluate the efficacy of embriyonic mesenchymal cells as a solution for the abovementioned problems and this method has not been used until now. We performed fractures on both femurs of 16 Wistar rats and than treated one side with osteosynthesis only with intramedullary Kirschner wire, and the other side was treated after an intramedullary Kirschner osteosynthesis with a vertebral colon from rat embryo implanted on fracture line and this colon is rich in mesenchymal cells. So, we both intended to get larger amount of mesenchymal cells and gain the time in which mesenchym cells proliferate. The femurs of 2 groups of rat, were examined radiologically and histologically, at 6th and 8th weeks. On radiological examination, callus was further developed on the femurs in which graft was used as opposed to the other side. On histologic examination, callus was much mature and graft was blended with it on the grafted side. Union procedure was further developed in the site of graft. Besides, the union time has been found longer in comparison with closed fracture union time in rats. It might depends on either the lack of fracture hematom or the immune reaction. Our results of this study confirm that, the intracellular milieu, the milieu in which fracture takes place or other miscellaneous unknown factors have great effect in the union procedure while mesenchym cells transforme to chondroblasts. Mesenchym tissue which is transferred as greft, unite with callus at last and boost it as quality and quantity. The immune reaction which developes against to the transferred mesenchym tissue although is out of the scope of this study, is another important factor which is expected to effect the result. As a result, we concluded that embryonal mesenchymal cells are effective in filling bone defects, but a longer follow-up time is required for the evaluation of tissue rejection.
