“…As far as we are aware, there is one in vitro meniscus study [17] in which Histoacryl use in addition to the suture material was found to be the strongest method, as was found in our study. Failure strength was directly correlated with suture size and the size of the adhered area [3,6,25]. Koukoubis et al used 3/0 prolene in their study.…”

“…2/0 prolene and Histoacryl (2-butyl cyanoacrylate-BRAUN AESCULAP 1×1.5 cc Histoacryl tissue adhesive produced from enbucrilate) were used. For Histoacryl to adhere effectively, the surfaces had to be wet and held in compression for 1-2 min [3,22]. Thus, the menisci were held in saline solution during the setting process.…”

“…It is not toxic, has a minimal inflammatory effect and does not interrupt tissue healing [1,3,[20][21][22][23]. It is used clinically and experimentally as an embolic and haemostatic agent in vascular surgery, for treatment of retinal tears and corneal ulcers in ophthalmology, for graft surgery, tendon repairs, bone fixation in plastic and reconstructive surgery and osteochondral fracture fixation in orthopaedic surgery [1,3,17,21,24].…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the biomechanical efficacy of Histoacryl (cyanoacrylate, Nasetil 2 butyl sistein) in meniscal tear repair. In our study, the primary stability of three different repair techniques in delaying the formation of a gap of 2 mm was investigated. A meniscal tear was repaired with two vertical sutures and Histoacryl in the first group; it was repaired only with Histoacryl in the second group, and with only two vertical sutures in the third group. Menisci were then placed in a tensile loading machine, and the primary stability of the repair zones was measured until a displacement of 2 mm occurred. Biomechanical force was significantly (P<0.05) high (112.0±17.20 N) in all groups when vertical suture and Histoacryl glue were used together during displacements of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 mm. We believe that Histoacryl is superior to vertical sutures regarding gap delaying. It potentiates the effect of vertical suture strength, permits early motion and thus merits an in vivo study.

“…Their high price makes fracture treatment expensive, in addition to the longer duration of operations involving metal implants, with their consequent additional costs. Therefore, it would be desirable to have a fixation method that would stabilize bone fragments at a lower cost, without the complications inherent to using metal implants (4) . Cyanoacrylates are a group of fast-polymerization adhesives that started to be used in surgery in the 1960s (5) .…”

Objective: To evaluate the effect of butyl-2-cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive in osteotomies and bone grafts, with regard to macroscopic and radiographic characteristics. Methods: Forty-eight rabbits were used, randomly divided into four groups of 12 animals, with observation periods of two, four, eight and 16 weeks. Both thoracic limbs were operated in each animal and two osteotomies were performed in each of the radii, withdrawing a bone fragment (bone graft) of 1 cm in length. On one side, the bone graft was then replaced and a drop of adhesive was applied to each of the osteotomies. On the other side, the same procedure was performed without applying the adhesive. The rejection level for the nullity hypothesis was set at 0.05% or 5%. Results: Blue marks were present in all the surgical

This study investigated the use of a prototype expanded polytetrafluoroethylene membrane attached to bone with butyl-cyanoacrylate, in facilitating guided bone regeneration into bone defects and around titanium screws in rabbit femora. Two experimental models were used to assess bone growth. The first model investigated two unicortical defects in each femora. The second was bone growth in a 500-micron engineered space around one transcortical titanium screw. In the first model there was a significant increase in bone formation at 1 and 2 months in the membrane groups (p < 0.01) as compared to the controls. In the second model the percentage of bone in contact with the implant was significant at 1 and 2 months in the defects covered with membrane compared to the uncovered defects. The uncovered defects had fibrous tissue adherent to the implant continuous with the overlying soft tissue. Our study demonstrated three points: this membrane can be used to increase bone regeneration into defects, this technique allows bone to grow directly around an implant, and butyl-cyanoacrylate can be used in deep soft tissue and bone applications without any apparent deleterious effects.
