Abstract: Purpose: To evaluate the low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on the membrane induced by the Masquelet technique in rabbits. Methods: Twelve Norfolk rabbits at approximately 3 months of age were used. A 1-cm segmental defect was induced in both radii, which were filled with polymethylmethacrylate cylinder. LLLT was used postoperatively in the bone defect of one of the forelimbs every 48 hours for 15 days. Six rabbits were euthanatized on third and sixth postoperative weeks. … Show more

“…Multifocal multinucleated cells observed on the radiographs was also detected in studies with chickens (12) and rabbits (25), and may occur when paired bones are used to maintain stability without a bone fixation method. Thus, a bone plate and screws should be applied to avoid cement displacement.…”

“…Barium sulfate and zirconium dioxide are the most common radiopacifiers of bone cement ( 22 , 23 ) and allow bone cement visibility in radiographs ( 24 ) as verified in both groups. The displacement of the bone cement observed on the radiographs was also detected in studies with chickens ( 12 ) and rabbits ( 25 ), and may occur when paired bones are used to maintain stability without a bone fixation method. Thus, a bone plate and screws should be applied to avoid cement displacement.…”

“…The presence of pro‐angiogenic factors in association with the IM, including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), angiotensin II and fibroblast growth factor 2, has been documented. 12 , 13 Recently, Tang et al 14 reported elevated levels of the anti‐angiogenic Notch signalling components DLL4 and NOTCH1 in more mature membranes. Vessel density in the IM increases during the first few weeks to months after the first surgery, which is evidence that an IM can provide an effective and sufficient blood supply for soft‐tissue and bone reconstruction.…”

“…In this approach, the second surgery is performed only after the polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) spacer has elicited a local foreign‐body response and an autologous foreign‐body IM, the key component of the procedure, has formed around the spacer. The presence of pro‐angiogenic factors in association with the IM, including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), angiotensin II and fibroblast growth factor 2, has been documented 12,13 . Recently, Tang et al 14 reported elevated levels of the anti‐angiogenic Notch signalling components DLL4 and NOTCH1 in more mature membranes.…”
