Abstract

A 12-year-old castrated Toy Poodle was referred to the Kangwon National University Animal Hospital with an oligotrophic nonunion fracture in the distal 1/3 of the left radius and an intact ulna. After fixation by a locking plate and screws, adipose-derived mesenchymal stem-cell sheets expressing bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP-7) were transplanted to the fracture site to enhance the healing activity. The fracture was healed at 9 weeks after surgery. In the present case, the mesenchymal stem-cell sheets expressing BMP-7 promoted bone regeneration and healing in a nonunion fracture.

Figure

  • Fig. 1 Radiographic images acquired 1 month (A), 4 months (B), and 5 months (C) after surgery with external skeletal fixation.

  • Fig. 2 Postoperative radiography shows the absence of the fracture line at 9 weeks after surgical application of a locking plate and screws and Ad-MSC sheets overexpressing BMP-7. Radiographic images acquired 2 weeks (A), 4 weeks (B), 7 weeks (C), 9 weeks (D), and 16 weeks after surgery (E).
