Summary
Hemiarthroplasty using osteochondral autografts and allografts were performed on 40 hip, 23 knee and 5 shoulder joints in baboons. Follow-up at one, two and three years revealed good results as assessed by clinical and radiological examination.
Histological and radionuclide studies revealed cartilage viability in 70 to 80% of cases.
Résumé
Les auteurs ont réalisé chez le babouin des hémiarthroplasties, 40 fois au niveau de la hanche, 23 fois du genou et 5 fois de l'épaute, en utilisant des auto et des allogreffes ostéo-cartilagineuses.
Les résultats ont été bons, avec un recul de 1 à 3 ans, comme le montrent les examens cliniques et radiologiques.
Les études histologiques ont montré que le cartilage demeurait vivant dans 70 à 80% des cas.
