  1. 01AnimalAnimal study (in vivo)Efficacy outcome

    In rabbits, continuous and intermittent PTH(1-84) produced cartilage formation at 4 weeks, whereas saline did not.

    Summary
    In contrast, cartilage formation occurred at 4 weeks in both the continuous and intermittent PTH-treated defects.

    Summary · context
    No evidence of cartilage formation was evident throughout the period of the experiments in injured animals administered saline alone.
    Summary · context
    Cylindrical full-thickness articular cartilage defects of 5mm in diameter were artificially created in the femoral trochlea of male adolescent Japanese white rabbits using a hand-drill. Recombinant human PTH(1-84) was then administered into the joint cavity continuously or intermittently for 2 weeks post-injury.
  2. 02AnimalAnimal study (in vivo)Efficacy outcome

    In rabbits, intermittent PTH(1-84) produced regenerated cartilage that resurfaced defects at 8 weeks.

    In plain wordsIn rabbits, intermittent PTH produced cartilage that covered the defects at 8 weeks.

    Summary
    At 8 weeks post-injury, for the intermittently treated defects, the regenerated cartilage successfully resurfaced the defects and the original bone-articular cartilage junction was recovered.
