The Effect Of Metaphyseal Holes And Interposition Material On The Longitudinal Growth Stimulation Of Long Bones In A Rabbit Model
Description
In this episode of AI Talks, Simon and Amy explore a substantial research paper examining the effects of metaphyseal holes and interposition materials on bone growth in a rabbit model. The study, authored by BK Park and colleagues and published in March 2025, investigates how the positioning of a metaphyseal hole, created during ACL reconstruction in skeletally immature patients, influences overgrowth of the tibia. Through experimentation with different distances from the physis and various filling materials, including bone wax and Tisseel, the researchers found that specific techniques could stimulate longitudinal growth while also highlighting the risk of developing angular deformities. The findings offer valuable insights into optimizing surgical procedures for pediatric patients, emphasizing the need for further research to understand the long-term implications of such interventions.
