Abstract: The efficiency of chicken inner eggshell membranes combined with a minimally invasive small osteotomy procedure of the tibia to accomplish an efficient release of the tibia so that it can continue to grow in an unstressed manner was tested in dogs. All the experiments were carried out in accordance to the rules of Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) and the research protocol was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of Veterinary Medicine Collegue, Shahrekord Branch, Islamic Azad University. Inner Eggshell membranes were extracted from chicken eggs, rinsed, dried and sterilized with ethylene oxide for 24 h. Subsequently, 8 dogs were anaesthetized and a complete 8 mm wide osteotomy was performed in both the right and the left distal tibia. A piece of eggshell membranes was interposed in the osteotomy site of one tibia. The opposite osteotomized tibia was left as a negative control. After 30-60 days, tibia osteotomized regions were radiologycal examined. After radiological evaluation by densitometry and morphology, we demonstrate here for the first time that inner eggshell membranes as interpositional material in dogs osteotomized tibia experiments acted as an active against bone bridging. The degradation of the inner eggshell membrane due to host reaction, appeared sufficiently effected of inner eggshell membranes on bone repair was well done and useful.
