Washington: It will now be possible to initiate rapid formation of new bone at targeted locations in the body, thanks to a new technique that combines bone marrow removal and injection of a hormone.
The study, published this month in Tissue Engineering, was led by Agns Vignery, a professor of orthopaedics at Yale School of Medicine. “This could radically change the way patients are currently treated for fractured hips, vertebrae and acute traumatic long bone fractures,” said Vignery. According to her, present day treatment – usually involving surgery and artificial materials – often results in imperfect outcomes. “The ideal approach would be to create new bone where it is needed and at a faster rate,” she said. The study assessed the effect of bone marrow removal from particular sites, combined with daily injections of anabolic agents such as parathyroid hormone (PTH). Vignery said that this procedure creates new bone tissue that’s biologically normal. This provides the targeted bone with improved biomechanical properties at a rate and extent that would not be achievable by anabolic therapy alone. She also said that additional studies are in progress to determine whether the newly formed bone can be preserved over a long period of time.
