ABSTRACT

PURPOSE:

To check the effect of zoledronate in bone remodeling during bone healing.

METHODS:

Thirty rabbits were divided into two groups of fifteen animals each (control and experimental group respectively). Shaft osteotomy was performed on the cranial portion of the fibula of each animal. In the experimental group, a single dose of 0.04mg/kg of zoledronate was administered. In the control group, the same volume of bi-distilled water was administered. After one, two and four weeks, animals of both groups were killed and histological sections of the fibular metaphyseal area were examined histomorphometrically. The parameters analyzed were tissue volume (TV), fractional trabecular bone volume (BV/TV) and fractional medullary fibrous volume (FbV/TV).

RESULTS:

Tissue volume increased in the experimental group (237.2mm².10-2) compared to the control (166.62mm².10-2). Trabecular bone volume was significantly larger in the experimental (60.2 percent) than in the control group (34.8 percent).The amount of fibrosis volume decreased in the experimental group (22 percent) compared to the control (49.4 percent).

CONCLUSION:

The effect of zoledronate is characterized by accentuated stimulus of bone formation in the metaphyseal area, resulting in a larger amount of trabecular bone volume and little fibrosis volume.
RESUMO

OBJETIVO:

Verificar os efeitos do zoledronato na remodelação óssea durante a reparação óssea.

MÉTODOS:

Trinta coelhos foram divididos em dois grupos de quinze animais cada (grupos controle e experimento, respectivamente). Realizou-se osteotomia na diáfise proximal da fíbula de cada animal. No grupo experimento, aplicou-se dose única de 0,04mg/Kg de zoledronato. No grupo controle, a mesma quantidade de água bi-destilada foi administrada. Após uma, duas e quatro semanas, os animais de ambos os grupos foram sacrificados e cortes histológicos da metáfise fibular foram examinados histomorfometricamente. Os parâmetros analisados foram volume tecidual (TV), fração do volume ósseo trabecular (BV/TV) e fração do volume fibroso medular (FbV/TV).

RESULTADOS:

O volume tecidual aumentou no grupo experimento (237.2mm².10-2) em comparação com o controle (166.62mm².10-2). O volume ósseo Trabecular teve aumento significativo no grupo experimento (60.2 por cento) em relação ao grupo controle (34.8 por cento). A quantidade de fibrose medular diminuiu no grupo experimento (22 por cento) em comparação com o controle (49.4 por cento).

CONCLUSÃO:

O efeito do zoledronato é caracterizado por acentuado estímulo da formação óssea na área metafisária, resultando em grande quantidade de volume ósseo trabecular e pouca fibrose medular.
