ABSTRACT
Avaliou-sea ação da fração total de células mononucleares autógenas da medula óssea (FCMO) por aplicação intra-articular, após a correção cirúrgica do ligamento cruzado rompido. Foram utilizados 20 cães, os quais sofreram desmotomia do ligamento cruzado cranial e caudal unilaterais, 21 dias antes do reparo cirúrgico. Dez animais receberam as células autógenas no momento da correção. As avaliações se deram por estudo radiográfico, exames clínicos e biópsias aos 50 e 90 dias pós-operatórios. O grupo que recebeu a FCMO apresentou crescimento ósseo intra-articular ao estudo radiográfico, contudo os 20 animais apresentaram célulasCD34 positivas em suas amostras biopsiadas, indicando haver presença de células-tronco em ambos os grupos. Conclui-se que,para o modelo experimental proposto, não se recomenda o uso da fração total de células mononucleares e que trabalhos experimentais com o uso de células-tronco nas articulações devem evitar modelos cujo foco de lesão mantenha contato direto com a medula óssea.
This study was performed to evaluate the action of the fraction of total mononuclear cells from the bone marrow (FCMO) applied intra-articularly after the surgical repair of an experimentally ruptured cruciate ligament. Twenty dogs which suffered one-sided cruciate desmotomy of the cranial and caudal cruciate ligament 21 days before the correction were used. Ten animals received the FCMO at the time of correction. The assessments were done through X-ray and clinical examinations, and biopsies at 50 and 90 days postoperatively. It was concluded that there was no clinical difference between the two groups until 90 days of evaluation. The group that received FCMO grew intra-articular bone shown on the X-ray study. All twenty animals, however, presented cells marked with CD34 antibodies on their biopsy samples, indicating the presence of stem cells in both groups. It is concluded thatfor theexperimental model, it is not recommended to use the mononuclear cell fraction,andin experimental studies with the use of stem cells in the joints models whose focus of injury keep direct contact with the bone marrow should be avoided.

The study was aimed to determine the accurate location of giving incision and the width of the incision required to correct the problem of upward patellar fixation during blind method of medial patellar desmotomy. We took measurements of patellar ligaments in stifle joint of 50 indigenous and 50 crossbred slaughtered cattle without any apparent musculo-skeletal disorders were analysed. The average length and width of lateral, middle, and medial patellar ligaments for indigenous cattle were 9.360 +/- 0.339 and 3.056 +/- 0.226; 10.230 +/- 0.382 and 2.019 +/-0.258; 10.519 +/- 0.429 and 2.430 +/-0.232; for crossbred cattle 10.636 +/- 0.601 and 3.608 +/- 0.368; 11.580 +/- 0.724 and 2.330 +/- 0.205; 12.366 +/- 0.710 and 2.890 +/- 0.234 cm respectively. The average groove width for indigenous cattle and crossbred cattle between middle and medial ligament were 1.356 +/- 0.160 and 1.828 +/-0.186 cm and the highest width of groove between middle and medial patellar ligaments from the level of most cranial bulging of the cranial tibial tuberosity in the upward direction were 4.234 +/- 0.269 and 5.645 +/-0.358 cm respectively. Parameters measured were significantly different (p0.05) between indigenous and crossbred cattle. This study was suggested that incision should be made 4.234 +/- 0.269 and 5.645+/-0.398 cm proximally from the level of the most cranial bulging of cranial tibial tuberosity at the groove between middle and medial patellar ligaments, 2.430 +/-0.232 and 2.890+/-0.186 cm the mean width of the medial ligament to be cut during blind method of medial patellar desmotomy in indigenous and crossbred cattle respectively during surgical correction of upward patellar fixation.
El estudio fue dirigido a determinar la ubicación exacta de la incisión y el ancho necesario de la incisión para corregir el problema de la fijación superior patelar durante la técnica ciega de la desmotomia medial patelar. Se tomaron y analizaron medidas del ligamento patelar en la rodilla de 50 bovinos indígenas y 50 bovinos mestizos de criadero, sacrificados sin aparentes trastornos músculo-esqueléticos. El promedio de longitud y ancho lateral, central y medial del ligamento patelar para el ganado indígena fueron 9,360 +/- 0,339 y 3,056 +/- 0,226; 10,230 +/- 0,382 y 2,019 +/- 0,258; 10,519 +/- 0,429 y 2,430 +/- 0,232, y para el ganado mestizo 10,636 +/- 0,601 y 3,608 +/- 0,368; 11,580 +/- 0,724 y 2,330 +/- 0,205; 12,366 +/- 0,710 y 2,890 +/- 0,234 cm, respectivamente. El promedio del ancho del surco para el ganado bovino indígena y el mestizo entre el ligamento medio y ligamento medial fue 1,356 +/- 0,160 y 1,828 +/- 0,186 cm, y el máximo ancho del surco entre el ligamento medio y ligamento medial patelar desde el nivel más craneal del abultamiento de la tuberosidad tibial craneal en dirección hacia superior fueron 4,234 +/- 0,269 y 5,645 +/- 0,358 cm, respectivamente. Los parámetros medidos fueron significativamente diferentes (p 0,05) entre el ganado indígena y el ganado mestizo. Este estudio puede sugerir que la incisión puede ser hecha 4,234 +/- 0,269 y 5,645 +/- 0,398 cm proximalmente desde el nivel más craneal del abultamiento de la tuberosidad tibial craneal hasta el surco entre el ligamento patelar medio y medial. 2,430 +/- 0,232 y 2,890 +/- 0,186 cm fue la media del ancho del ligamento medio a ser cortada durante la técnica ciega de la desmotomía medial patelar del ganado indígena y mestizo respectivamente, durante la corrección quirúrgica de fijación superior patelar.
