Use of plasma rich in platelets of rabbits with few leukocytes and erythrocytes to consolidate bones

The aim of this study was to use the platelet-rich plasma obtained by a technique capable of producing an autologous product, with a reduced number of white blood cells and red blood cells and assessed by radiographs, the healing ability of a bone defect induced in the radio rabbits. 10.5mL of blood was collected via intracardiac blood sedimentation and distributed into three tubes containing sodium citrate. The tubes containing the samples were subjected to centrifugation at 2,000 rpm (670.8G) for 20 minutes and the sediment column were aspirated from each plasma tube 1,000 mu L to reduce the supernatant volume. The plasma was aspirated from above the leukocytes ring and transferred to another tube for centrifugation at 2,000 rpm for 10 minutes. The platelet content in the tube bottom was resuspended and homogenized to 1,000 mu L plasma supernatant PRP to form the liquid. A1.0 cm failure was performed on the left radio of each rabbit. The healing time was observed by means of radiographic examination at 45 and 90 days after surgery. The images were compared between the control group (G1) and the group receiving PRP implant transdermally (G2). The healing progress was assessed with the help of Adobe Photoshop program and a gray scale that represents the contrast. G2 had an average of 63% contrast at 45 days PO and 65% at 90 days PO. In G2, at 45 days PO the average was 42.7% and at 90 days PO 31.25% indicating that there was an increase in bone repair process compared to the group that did not receive the PRP implant. The method of obtaining an autologous platelet rich plasma of rabbits reduced the number of leukocytes and erythrocytes and platelets recovered which is greater than or equal to the physiological range for the species. The obtained PRP was able to accelerate the process of bone healing in rabbits.
