“…The observations from the present study add further information and support for the use of autogenous cancellous bone grafts in cases of large subchondral bone defects. The results of the present trial support the clinical observations (Kold and Hickman 1984;Kold, unpublished data) that at least six months rest is advisable before exercise is resumed following the treatment of large osseous defects in horses using autogenous cancellous bone grafts.…”

Summary The incorporation of autogenous cancellous bone graft was studied in eight yearling ponies. The site for the defect to be grafted was chosen so that the effect on the graft, of both the host cortical and trabecular bone, could be assessed. To obtain information concerning the vitality of the graft and the dynamic aspects of the modelling and remodelling processes of graft incorporation, a double and treble tetracycline intravital labelling technique was used. Radiographs of the graft and host tissues of all ponies were obtained regularly, but were of little assistance in assessing graft incorporation. The ponies were destroyed humanely at regular intervals between nine and 241 days after installation of the graft, followed by histological examination of undecalcified sections. The study revealed that all installed graft trabeculae showed signs of non‐vitality at nine days after installation and gradually disintegrated. Two processes of new bone formation were observed. First, finger‐like projections of immature new trabeculae were found to originate from the graft/host interfaces. Second, a gradual process of accretion of osteoid and woven bone upon disintegrating graft trabeculae occurred uniformly throughout the graft. The graft adapted to the structure of opposing host bone by corticalisation and trabecularisation. The present study confirmed clinical observations relating to convalescence time following grafting of large osseous defects in horses and indicated that equine bone reacts to autogenous bone grafts in a similar manner to other mammals.

“…Curettage or drilling of subchondral cysts of the medial femoral condyle in horses, or a combination of these techniques, result in a 56% to 74% favorable outcome for athletic performance 4 . Other treatments have included osteochondral plug allografts 5,6 and cancellous bone grafting in a clinical setting without experimental controls 7 . In humans, bone cysts have been managed with a variety of treatments, with highly variable results 8–16 .…”

“…Autogenous Cancellous Bone Grafts (ACB) in horses serve several functions, including enhancement of fracture repair, 1–3 joint arthrodeses, 4–6 and healing of bone defects 7,8. Although large amounts of ACB are available from several sites in horses, 9–11 problems can arise from their use.…”
