[Changes of bone-perfusion in osteosynthesis of the femur with a marrow-nail (author's transl)]. 1981

K G Kunze, and L Faupel, and U Rittstieg, and M Hofmann

The perfusion of the bone in the hind leg after osteosynthesis (nailing of the bone-marrow) was studied. In 11 shepherd dogs (bastards) an osteotomy of the femur was done; it was treated with a marrow-nail without boring the marrow-cavity. With the "tracer-microsphere"-method the perfusion of femur, tibia and talus of both hind legs was measured. Measurements were performed before and after surgery, in 10 dogs 2 weeks and in 8 dogs 6 weeks after surgery. Immediately after the operation the perfusion was reduced considerably in all the examined bones of the operated leg. Two weeks later the perfusion was increased in all bones of both hind limbs. In the cancellous bone of the femur the perfusion reached the original preoperative values after 6 weeks; in cortical bone a further increase of the perfusion was noted. This increase was most marked in the cortical bone of the operated femur; it was less in the cortical bone of the other bones.
