Benefits of technology

[0009] It is a further object of the invention to provide an osteoinductive/osteoconductive composition having superior volume maintaining properties, e.g., the ability to be packed firmly into large defect sites.
[0010] It is a further object of the invention to provide an osteoinductive/osteoconductive composition that provides for rapid remodeling and incorporation of the non-fibrous elements into the host site, i.e., being turned into bone not only on the outside surfaces but also on the internal surfaces of

EXAMPLE 1

[0057] Sections of defatted, disinfected allogenic cortical bone approximately 210-250 mm in length were cut on a band saw to yield 145.65 g of cuboid non-fibrous bone elements about 3 mm in size. The remaining allogenic cortical bone was processed in the bone milling apparatus described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,607,269 to yield 145.8 grams of fibrous bone elements. The non-fibrous bone elements were then placed in a reactor. A 0.6 N solution of HCl at 15 ml per gram of non-fibrous bone elements was introduced into the reactor, the reaction proceeded for 1 to 2 hours. Following drainage of the HCl, the non-fibrous bone elements were covered with 0.6 N HCl / 20 ppm-2000 ppm nonionic surfactant solution for 24 to 48 hours. The fibrous bone elements were then added to the reactor and allowed to soak for 5 to 10 minutes. Following drainage of the HCl / surfactant solution, 0.6 N HCl at 15 ml per gram of total bone was introduced into the reactor, the reaction proceeded for 40 to 50 minu...

EXAMPLE 2

[0058] The compressive force of the composition prepared as in Example 1 was compared with that of a like quantity of an osteoinductive / osteocondu-ctive composition prepared in accordance with U.S. Pat. No. 5,073,373 and an osteoinductive / osteoconductive composition prepared in accordance with U.S. Pat. No. 5,314,476. In this example, 5 cc of each material was placed into separate 10 cc syringe barrels. The compressive force (i.e., the sustained force capable of deflecting a meter probe) was then measured using the meter, to determine deflective force. The results are contained in the following table. MaterialCompressive Force (N)U.S. Pat. No. 5,073,3734.8U.S. Pat. No. 5,314,4767.9Example 110.3

EXAMPLE 3

[0059] Material prepared as in Example 1 was evaluated to determine its osteoinductive potential. The material was implanted in female athymic homozygous mu / mu rats according to the procedure described in Edwards et al., Osteoinduction of Human Demineralized Bone: Characterization in a Rat Model, Clinical Orthopedics and Related Research (No. 357, pp. 219-228) 1998, the contents of which are incorporated hereby by reference. The material was studied to analyze its bone formation response. After 28 days in the rat model it was determined that cells had accumulated in the porous region inside of the chips, differentiated into bone forming cells, and were in the process of laying down bone in remodeling the matrix from the inside out.

Abstract

An osteoinductive/osteoconductive composition prepared from a quantity, of demineralized fibrous bone elements possessing an average surface area to volume ratio of about 100:1 to about 20:1, a quantity of mostly shaped regular non-fibrous bone elements possessing an average surface area to volume ratio of about 10:1 or less and a sufficient quantity of biocompatible fluid carrier sufficient to provide the composition as a deformable mass is provided herein. Also provided is a method of using the composition to repair a bone defect site.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S) [0001] This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 10 / 413,324, filed on Apr. 14, 2003, which is a continuation of International Application No. PCT / US2000 / 28462, filed on Oct. 13, 2000, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 159,774, filed on Oct. 15, 1999. The contents of all of the above-identified applications are incorporated in their entirety by reference herein.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] This invention relates to an osteoinductive and osteoconductive composition containing demineralized fibrous bone elements in combination-with non-fibrous bone elements that are demineralized, partially demineralized or non-demineralized. More particularly, the invention relates to demineralized fibrous bone elements having a relatively high median length to median thickness ratio and relatively high surface area to volume ratio; demineralized, partially demineralized or non-demineralized non-fibrous bo...
