Novel Animal Model of Calvarial Defect in an Infected Unfavorable Wound: Reconstruction with rhBMP-2

Abstract: These data suggest that rhBMP-2-treated collagen sponges may be useful for the repair of calvarial defects following infection. However, the osseous healing observed in this study was significantly less than previous reports in acute, noninfected models and was dissimilar to native bone. Further work is needed to optimize treatment of the previously infected calvarial wound with rhBMP-2.

“…In this study, we utilize a total dose of rhBMP2, which in our microspheres is spread out over approximately one month; this dose is approximately 10,000-100,000x less than the total dose that is clinically utilized 4 , the result being a significantly decreased local growth factor concentration. The dose in this study is also significantly lower than previously published work in this area 9, 13, 27-29 . Thus, we are beginning to ask and attempt to answer the question, what is the minimal dose and local concentration of rhBMP2 that can be delivered over time in order to induce bone regeneration without the production of unwanted side effects?…”

“…Causes of craniofacial injury include trauma and tumor removal, contributing to prevalent mortality and morbidity [59, 60]. This is further complicated by factors that compromise the recipient wound bed or interfere with optimal healing (e.g., irradiation, infection, surgical damage) [3, 61, 62]. Autologous bone grafts remain the standard of care, although, the process of harvesting is associated with morbidity and a number of complications.…”

“…Several experimental models have investigated how bone morphogenetic protein therapies can be safely expanded to address bony defects throughout the skeleton, including the calvaria. [7][8][9][10] Although the successful application of rhBMP-2 therapy to the calvaria would potentially obviate the need for autogenous tissue harvest, the unwanted effects of rhBMP-2 therapy must first be minimized before it can be considered a preferred therapy. The development of seromas and the formation of ectopic bone following rhBMP-2 treatment has been described previously.…”
