Экспериментальная модель хронического очагового остеомиелита для исследований in vivo

Abstract

Introduction. The article describes an experimental model of chronic suppurative osteomyelitis in a rabbit. As new therapeutic and diagnostic algorithms for the supervision of patients with osteomyelitis appear, there is an growing need to compare the methods of surgical debridement and plasty of bone defects in an infectious process, in order to create experimental standardized pathological conditions as close to the clinical course of the disease in humans as possible. The aim of the study was to develop an experimental model of a standardized chronic purulent bone cavity, suitable for a comprehensive assessment of surgical debridement effectiveness and osteoplastic properties of bone substitute materials. Materials and methods. A standardized defect of the tibia in 24 rabbits was formed. The Staphylococcusaureus strain was used as an infectious agent. A dynamic assessment of the main indicators of blood counts in animals was carried out. The formation of chronic osteomyelitis was evaluated using radiography, com-puted tomography methods and histological studies. Results. It was shown that purulent bone wound developed in experimental animals with the technique cre-ated, and a defect with signs of a chronic purulent-inflammatory process was demonstrated. Conclusion. The proposed model of chronic osteomyelitis is reproducible. Operational flexibility and identi-cal in size and location bone defects allow to use this model in new osteoplastic material research.
