Regenerative treatment of canine osteogenic lesions with Platelet-Rich Plasma and hydroxyapatite: a case report.

Introduction: This study examined the efficacy of a therapy based on a combination of Platelet Rich Plasma and hydroxyapatite nanoparticles in a severe clinical case involving a young Rottweiler with a complex spiral fracture of the tibia. Method: Following a worsening of the lesion after traditional surgical intervention, the subject was treated with the combined therapy. X-rays were taken at the following stages: immediately post-surgery, four weeks post-surgery, and 10 days post-treatment. Fracture gap and callus density measurements were obtained using ImageJ analysis, allowing for a detailed quantitative assessment of bone regeneration over time. Results: Post-operative radiographs indicated a clinical worsening of the fracture, revealing an increased fracture gap due to bone loss. However, significant improvements were observed ten days following the treatment, with a marked reduction in fracture gaps and increased callus density. These results demonstrated a notable acceleration in bone healing and callus formation compared to typical recovery times for similar lesions. Conclusion: The method showed potential for enhancing osteogenic regeneration, facilitating faster healing of serious orthopedic injuries compared to traditional methods.
