Q What is Graft?
A viable tissue that after removal from a donor site is implanted with in
a recipient tissue is then restored repaired and regenerated.
Q What is grafting ?
Grafting is a procedure used to replace/ restore missing tissue.
Q What are bone grafts ?
bone grafts are the materials used for replacement or augmentation of
bone.
Q What are bone Substitute ?
Bone substitutes are natural, synthetic or composite materials used to
fill bone defects and promote bone healing
History
• The principles, indication and techniques of bone grafting were
established before the metalurgic age of orthopedic surgery
• The first recorded bone implant was performed in 1668 by Van
• Lane and sandhu introduced internal fixation
• Albee,henderson,campbell intoduce the principle of osteogenesis in
bone grafting.
Biological concept of using bone graft
• osteoinduction – induce differentiation of stem cell into osteogenic
cells
• Osteoconduction- provide passive porous scaffold upon which new
bone can form
• osteogenesis- provide stem cell with osteogenic potential ,which
directly lays down new bone
• Osteopromotion: it enhances osteoinduction without possessing
osyeoinductive property
Bone graft and its substitute
Theory of bone graft incorporation
Bone Graft Uses
• To fill cavities or defects resulting from cysts, tumors, or other cause
• To bridge joints and provide arthrodesis.
• To bridge major defects or establish the continuity of a long bone
• To provide bone blocks to limit joint motion (arthrodesis)
• To establish union in a pseudarthrosis
• To promote union or fill defects in delayed union, malunion, fresh
fractures, or osteotomies
Mesenchymal Stem cells
• Progenitor cells that provide a source of cells to differentiate into
chondroblasts and osteoblasts during endochondral and
intramembranous bone formation
• In the elderly the pool of these cells diminishes
• Bone marrow is the source of adult MSCs
Bone graft and its substitute
Autograft/ Isograft
• Harvested from the patient
• Gold standard
• Cancellous, vascularized cortical, non vascularized cortical and
autogeneous bone marrow grafts
• Commonly taken from iliac crests
Adv and Disadv
• No immune reaction
• All three properties present
• Requires additional surgery
• Limited quantity
• Non availability for further
surgery
• Increased morbidity
• Infection
• Chronic pain
• Cosmetic
Autogenous Bone Grafts
• Cancellous
• Cortical
• Free vascular transfers
• Muscle pedicle bone graft
• Bone marrow aspirate
Autogenous Cancellous Bone Grafts
• Three dimensional scaffold (osteoconductive)
• Osteocytes and stem cells (osteogenic)
• A small quantity of growth factors (osteoinductive)ss
• CREEPING SUBSTITUION: process by which graft is replaced by new
bone (I year)
• Used in boneloss: depressed tibial plateau fractures, revision hip and
knee arthroplasty
Autogenous Cortical Bone Grafts
• Sources: • Ribs • Fibula • Crest of the ilium (also called as tricortical
graft)
• It can be of two types:
• Conventinal nov vascular
• Vascularised bone graft
Bone graft and its substitute
NV Vs Vascular graft
• Non vascular
• • Mainly osteoconductive
• with little osteoinductive and no
osteogenic properties.
• • Revascularisation is slow till
cortex is resorbed.
• • Remodelling -2years Used in
defects <6cm
• Vascular
• • It has immediatelyrestored
blood supply
• • More viable, more survival of
osteocytes
• • Can be used in defects upto 12
cm or even in inadequate host.
Bone Marrow Aspirate
• • RIA(REAMER IRRIGATOR AND ASPIRATOR)
• It is a technique to harvest sizable amount of bone marrow, which is
particularly rich in mesenchymal stem cells .
• Growth factors supplied:
Fibroblasts growth factor(FGF)-2
Insulin like growth factor(IGF)-2
Adv and Diadv
• Provides enriched osteogenesis
• Decrease intramedullary canal
pressure
• Minimal risk of fat embolism
• Potential source of autologous
bone, mesenchymal cells and
bone growth factors.
• Perforation of the meduallary
canal which
• may require prophylactic
intramedullary
• fixation.
• • Significant blood loss
Allograft
• Alternative to autografts
• Taken from donors or cadavers
Adv and Dis adv
• Eliminates donor site morbidity
• Tackles issue of limited supply
• Immune reaction
• Risk of infection
• Disease transmission
• Reduced osteoinductivity and
osteogenecity
• Ethical issues
Bone Graft Substitute
• Ideal bone graft substitute’-should be biocompatible,
bioresorbable,osteoconductive,osteoinductive, structurally similar to
bone ,easy to use and cost effective.
Need for graft substitutes
• Limitations of Autogenous bone graft
• Increased morbidity of surgical procedure.
• Increased anaesthesia time,
• Increased blood loss.
• Post op donor site complications
• Limited amount of graft material.
Bone graft substitute- Laurencin
ALLOGRAFT BASED substitutes
• Uses allograft bone with or without other elements.
• Comes in many forms and many preparations-freeze dried , irradiated
and decalcified.
• DEMINERALISED BONE MATRIX (DBM)- chemosterilised , antigen
extracted ,surface demineralised autolysed-allogeneic bone .
• DBM is generally mixed with a carrier –glycerol, calcium sulfate
powder, sodium hyaluronate , gelatin.
Bone Allografts
• Cancellous or cortical
– Plentiful supply
– Limited infection risk (varies based on processing method)
– Provide osteoconductive scaffold
– May provide structural support
Freeze-dried
– Even less antigenic
– Time to test for diseases
– Strictly regulated by FDA
– Can be stored at room temperature up to 5 years
– Mechanical properties degrade
• Decreases expression of MHC 1 complex in osteoblasts
• • Decreased osteoinductive properties
• • Reduced mechanical integrity
• • Decreased number of viable cells
• • Slow revascularisation and delaye remodelling
• • Histologically mono nuclear cells surround the newly developed
blood vessels Demineralized Bone
Demineralized Bone Matrix
• Prepared from cadaveric human bone
• Acid extraction of bone leaving – Collagen(type 1) – Noncollagenous
proteins – Bone growth factors
• BMP quantity extremely low and variable
• Sterilized which may decrease the availability
Available from multiple vendors in multiple preparations – Gel – Putty –
Strip
– Combination products with cancellous bone and other bone graft
substitute produc y of BMP
Technique
• Bone is collected in clean and unsterile environment.
• It is nibbled to remove the articular cartilage.
• It can be sterilized by irradiation, ethylene oxide or strong acid( 0.55
% HCl)
• It is subject to deep freeze upto -70 to -80 degrees celcius(frozen)
• Freeze drying involves removal of water and vacuum packaging of
the tissue
Contd.
• Has osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties.
• Does not provide structural support .
• Very good for filling bone defects and cavities
• Biological activity - proteins and growth factors present in the
extracellular matrix
• Prepared by a standard process- Urist et al, modified by Reddi and
huggins
disadv
• Infection
• Disease transmission
• Variable potency- multiple donors, manufacture processes
• No RCT has been done comparing its efficacy
• DBM sterilised by gamma irradiation and ethylene oxide-1.decreases
the risk of disease transmission. 2.decreases the osteoinduvtive
activity.
.
Contraindications to DBM1
• .Severe vascular or neurological disease.
• 2.fever.
• 3.Uncontrolled DM.
• 4.Severe Degenerative Bone disease.
• 5.Pregnancy.
• 6.Hypercalcemia.
• 7.Renal compromise.
• 8.Pott disease,or osteomyelitis or sepsis at the surgical site
GROWTH FACTOR BASED substitutes
• URIST first discovered BMP in 1965,when he recognised its ability to
induce enchondral bone formation.
• Growth factors are a part of a very large group of cytokines.
• Growth factors commonly involved are: 1.TGF-
β.2.IGF.3.PDGF.4.VEGF.5.b FGF.
• Most of the BMP’s used today are in the bone super family
transforming growth factor –β
• This super family includes the inhibin/activin family, mulleraian-
inhibiting substance family, and the decapentaloplegic family.
• IGF and TGF-β mostly modulate the synthesis of cartilage matrix.
• bFGF has a powerful mitogenic factor which stimulates the
differentiation of chondrocytes.
• bFGF is produced locally in bone during the initial phase of fracture
healing and is known to stimulate cartilage and bone forming cells.
BMP’s shown to have osteogenic properties
.BMP 2,7-key role in osteoblast differentiation.
.BMP-3 – induces bone formation.
.BMP-4 – regulates the formation of teeth,limbs and bone from
mesoderm.
.BMP-5 –functions in cartilage develoment.
.BMP-6- role in joint integrity in adults.
BMP -8a – involved in Bone and cartilage development.
BMP’s are group of noncollagenous glycoproteins that belong to the
TGF-β super family.
• BMP’s are produced by recombinant technology and are designated
rhBMP.
• Presently only two proteins have been isolated, produced, and
approved for use in humans-rhBMP-2, and rhBMP-7.
• The synthetic biodegradable polymer/interconnected porous calcium
hydroxyapatite ceramics(IP-CHA) composite is an excellent
combination carrier/scaffold delivery system for rhBMP-2.
• BMP -2,7 are water soluble and require a carrier to remain in the
operative area
• MOA of rhBMP’s is :chemotaxis,mitogenesis, and cell differentiation.
• rhBMP’s differ in the type of cell induced to differentiate: -rhBMP-2
acts on the mesenchymal stem cell and preosteoblast to differentiate
into osteoblasts while rhBMP-7 acts only on the preosteoblast.
• Uses of rhBMP’s: 1.Spinal fusion 2.Treatment of open tibial fractures.
3.Maxillofacial surgeries.
Complications of rhBMP’s
• Problems with the implant-bending,breaking subsidence or migration,
and loosening,
• -neurological complications-paralysis,nerve and spinal cord
damage,dural tears,sexual dysfunction,bowel and bladder
dysfunction.
• -General organ complications-respiratory failure, GIT problems.
uses
• Excellent for contained stable defects Eg- cysts and cavities
• Have been used for non unions and acute bone defects *
• Also been used to enhance arthrodesis Eg- spine etc.**

Bone graft and its substitute
CELL BASED substitutes
• Most frequently used cell based graft is autologous bone marrow.
Bone marrow contains hemopoietic stem cells as well as
‘mesenchymal stem cells’ or ‘stromal cells.’
• BM stromal cells depending on the tissue environment can generate-
osteoblasts,chondrocytes,adipocytes, myoblasts,endothelial cell
precursors,hemopoietic stem cells.
Collection of Stem cells
• Bone marrow aspiration.
• Mesenchymal stem cells(MSC’s) are isolated and cultured in flasks.
• After several passages ,a sufficient number of MSC are
collected.Trephination and collection of MSC from the flasks.
• MSC are then loaded in the scaffold.
• Aspiration should be done at multiple sites to decrease dilution by
blood.
Stem cell use in orthopaedic
• 1.Nonunion.
• 2.Delayed union.
• 3.Stabilisation of fracture .

  • 34. GROWTH FACTOR BASED substitutes • URIST first discovered BMP in 1965,when he recognised its ability to induce enchondral bone formation. • Growth factors are a part of a very large group of cytokines. • Growth factors commonly involved are: 1.TGF- β.2.IGF.3.PDGF.4.VEGF.5.b FGF. • Most of the BMP’s used today are in the bone super family transforming growth factor –β
  • 35. • This super family includes the inhibin/activin family, mulleraian- inhibiting substance family, and the decapentaloplegic family. • IGF and TGF-β mostly modulate the synthesis of cartilage matrix. • bFGF has a powerful mitogenic factor which stimulates the differentiation of chondrocytes. • bFGF is produced locally in bone during the initial phase of fracture healing and is known to stimulate cartilage and bone forming cells.
  • 36. BMP’s shown to have osteogenic properties .BMP 2,7-key role in osteoblast differentiation. .BMP-3 – induces bone formation. .BMP-4 – regulates the formation of teeth,limbs and bone from mesoderm. .BMP-5 –functions in cartilage develoment. .BMP-6- role in joint integrity in adults. BMP -8a – involved in Bone and cartilage development. BMP’s are group of noncollagenous glycoproteins that belong to the TGF-β super family.
  • 37. • BMP’s are produced by recombinant technology and are designated rhBMP. • Presently only two proteins have been isolated, produced, and approved for use in humans-rhBMP-2, and rhBMP-7. • The synthetic biodegradable polymer/interconnected porous calcium hydroxyapatite ceramics(IP-CHA) composite is an excellent combination carrier/scaffold delivery system for rhBMP-2. • BMP -2,7 are water soluble and require a carrier to remain in the operative area
  • 38. • MOA of rhBMP’s is :chemotaxis,mitogenesis, and cell differentiation. • rhBMP’s differ in the type of cell induced to differentiate: -rhBMP-2 acts on the mesenchymal stem cell and preosteoblast to differentiate into osteoblasts while rhBMP-7 acts only on the preosteoblast. • Uses of rhBMP’s: 1.Spinal fusion 2.Treatment of open tibial fractures. 3.Maxillofacial surgeries.
  • 39. Complications of rhBMP’s • Problems with the implant-bending,breaking subsidence or migration, and loosening, • -neurological complications-paralysis,nerve and spinal cord damage,dural tears,sexual dysfunction,bowel and bladder dysfunction. • -General organ complications-respiratory failure, GIT problems.
