RESUMO

The reconstruction of great bone loss defects represents a challenge for reconstructive surgery. To reconstruct these defects it is necessary to create conditions to stimulate new bone formation, in order to block the connective healing tissue growth towards the bony defect, which blocks the osteogenesis. The autogenous grafts are inconvenient, because they submit the patient to considerable discomfort and post-operative morbidity. The heterogeneous and xenogenous grafts can also create rejection reaction. This study aimed to evaluate the progress and analyze the experimental results (in the short term), of the use of castor oil polymer in the form of prefabricated blocks, as an alternative biomaterial to reconstruct bone defects. We operated 15 male SPF Wistar albino rats adults, which were divided into 3 groups of 5 animals (groups G1, G2 and G3) with periods of follow up at 30, 45 and 60 days, respectively. Defects were created in the femurs of the animals with a burr, partially removing the cortical bone with low engine speed and abundantly irrigated with saline. In this region were fixed blocks of polymer plant (10 x 5 x 1 mm) with titanium screw (1,5 x 8 mm). After the laboratory procedures of preparation, the samples were counted and stained by HE. The results showed bone biocompatibility of the polymer implant. In none of the periods analyzed we observed inflammatory reaction or reaction foreign body, allowing the neoformation of connective tissue and osteo-chondroid at the bone-prosthesis interface. We conclude that the vegetal polymer is a bioactive and osteoconductive graft and can be considered a national bone substitute alternative, readily available to be successfully used in surgeries that involve bone loss. We intend to continue this study with a comparison to a control group, with longer follow up.
