The cancellous bone chips can provide the composition with good structural support, and the relatively large surface area of the cancellous bone chips can provide the composition with good osteoconduction. [0054]
  • Tests
  • The majority of tests done to date on the bone graft substitute composition of the present invention basically consist of mixing a specific formulation and then assessing and recording the mixing, handling, consistency, and injectability properties of the resultant material. [0055]
  • Formulation Tests
  • Injectable Bone Graft Substitute Composition: Formulations with various types and amounts of carboxymethylcellulose and demineralized bone matrix have been tested. Specific examples include: (1) carboxymethylcellulose percentages of 1-10% by weight; (2) types of carboxymethylcellulose have included high viscosity, medium viscosity, and low viscosity from 3 vendors (e.g., Aqualon® 7HF PH sodium carboxymethylcellulose from Hercules Incorporated, Hercules Plaza, 1313 North Market Street, Wilmington, Del. 19894-0001); (3) carboxymethylcellulose sterilized by gamma or electronic beam sterilization (medium and low doses); (4) demineralized bone matrix percentages up to 65% by volume; (5) differently processed demineralized bone matrix, air dried and freeze dried; (6) demineralized bone matrix from two vendors (e.g., human freeze dried demineralized bone matrix from AlloSource, 8085 E. Harvard Ave., Denver, Col. 80231); and (7) animal demineralized bone matrix, including bovine and canine. [0056]
  • For all these formulations, varying amounts of water, between 31-200 parts by weight, have been tested. The mixing, handling, consistency, and injectability properties were assessed and formulas chosen such that they met the mixing, handability, ejectability, and robustness characteristics/criteria stated hereinabove. [0057]
  • Paste And Putty Bone Graft Substitute Composition: These were the first tests done and included formulations with compositions having 100 parts by weight medical grade calcium sulfate hemihydrate, and between 1-10% by weight carboxymethylcellulose, and between 31-200 parts by weight water. As was the case with the injectable bone graft substitute composition, mixing, handability, consistency, injectability, and robustness properties were assessed for the different formulations. Specific tests have included: (1) varying the carboxymethylcellulose percentages from 0.25% up to 10% by weight, (2) using inorganic salt solutions including 2% sodium chloride (NaCl) by weight, 2-4% sodium sulfate (Na[0058] 2SO4) by weight, and 2% potassium chloride (KCl)by weight.
  • As with the injectable bone graft substitute composition, varying amounts of water, 31-200 parts by weight, were used. [0059]
  • EXAMPLE 1
  • The osteoinductive properties of the injectable bone graft substitute composition have been studied using an athymic mouse-intramuscular implantation model. This animal model is widely accepted as the “gold standard” for assessing osteoinductive characteristics of bone graft materials. In this model, a given amount of material is surgically placed into a muscular site. After an implantation period of four weeks, the osteoinductive response is assessed using various analytical methods, including radiography, biochemical analysis (alkaline phosphatase levels and calcium content), and histomorphometry. [0060]
  • In this study, four athymic (nude) male mice (Harlan Sprague Dawley, Inc.) were used for each material group. Two muscle pouches were formed in the right and left gluteal muscles of each mouse and implanted with either: (1) pellets which were manufactured using the composition given in Preferred Embodiment 1, or (2) twenty (20) 5 mg of demineralized bone matrix which had been rehydrated with isotonic saline (0.9% NaCl). The pellets made from Preferred Embodiment 1 were 3.0 mm in diameter, 2.5 mm in height and 25 mg in weight. [0061]
  • After twenty-eight (28) days the animals were sacrificed and the materials explanted. The explants were analyzed for osteoinductive potential by assessing the alkaline phosphatase activity and for new bone growth by histomorphometric analysis of histologic sections. [0062]
  • Samples to be analyzed for alkaline phosphatase activity were minced, sonicated, and extracted with water saturated butanol. The extracts were assayed for protein content using a Pierce BCA Protein Assay Kit (Pierce Chemical Co.) and measuring the conversion of para-nitrophenylphosphate (pNPP)to para-nitrophenol (pNP) with time. The results were expressed as mole pNP formed/min/ g tissue protein. [0063]
  • Samples intended for histomorphometric analyses were prepared using standard histological procedures. The percent viable bone (new bone formation) was quantitated employing computer software (Adobe Photo Shop 3.0.4 and HNIH 1.61), in conjunction with a microscope equipped with a video camera. Data was reported as percent viable bone relative to the total cross-sectional area analyzed. [0064]
  • The alkaline phosphatase levels (μmole pNP formed/min/μg tissue protein) and percent viable bone results for the groups of mice implanted with DBM only and with injectable putty manufactured using the composition given in Preferred Embodiment 1 are shown in Table 1. [0065]

  • EXAMPLE 2
  • A study was performed on canines to evaluate healing of bone defects using materials with the composition given in Preferred Embodiment 1. The DBM used in these compositions was fresh frozen canine DBM (Veterinarian Transplant Services, Seattle, Wash.). Two methods were used to produce the test materials. The first material group consisted of a blend of DBM, calcium sulfate, and CMC powder that was irradiated sterilized, while the second group mixed canine DBM with the calcium sulfate-CMC blend at the time of surgery. [0066]
  • In this canine animal model, large medullary cylindrical defects (13 mm diameter ×50 mm length)were created bilaterally in the proximal humeri by drilling axially through the greater tubercle. Six to 7 cc of test material were injected into prepared cavities using a large-bore catheter-tip syringe. Left humeri received the premixed material that hand been sterilized and the right humeri received the material mixed intraoperatively which utilized non-irradiated canine DBM. Radiographs of the humeri were obtained preoperative, immediately postoperative, and at 2, 3, and 6 weeks. Following euthanasia after 6 weeks, the explanted humeri were sectioned transversely, radiographed, and processed for plastic imbedded undecalcified histology. The histologic sections were stained with basic fuchsin and toluidine blue and examined by light microscopy. [0067]
  • Post-operative radiographs revealed all test materials to be well contained in the prepared cavities. Normal would healing occurred and there were no postoperative infections. Serial clinical radiographs showed a progressive decrease in materials density with time. No difference was evident between the right and left sides. [0068]
  • Contact radiographs of the cut sections demonstrated no difference in pattern or density of bone filling the right and left defects, non-irradiated and irradiated canine DBM materials groups, respectively. Serial sections for all the dogs showed between 30-100% filling of the defect, with one dog showing almost complete filling for all sections. [0069]
  • Histologically, the nature of new bone formation and the amount of residual material were similar in the right and left defects. In the peripheral one-third of the defects, new bone was present at the margins and haversian surfaces of abundant DBM particles. Residual calcium sulfate was evident, incorporated within slender bone trabeculae, independent of DBM particles. New bone formation in the central aspect of the defects was more variable, with some vascular fibrosus tissue shown. No foreign body or inflammatory response was seen in any of the slides, indicating that the materials had extremely good biocompatibilty. [0070]
  • Thus, materials with compositions given in Preferred Embodiment 1 were shown to be well tolerated by the bone and to heal a large medullary defect 30-100% at six 20 weeks with viable new bone in a canine bone defect model. [0071]
  • Although the present invention has been described and illustrated with respect to preferred embodiments and preferred uses therefor, it is not to be so limited since modifications and changes can be made therein which are within the full intended scope of the invention.[0072]
