Methods Ten juvenile to juvenile and five juvenile to adult hind limb transplants were performed in male syngeneic Lewis rats. Upper tibial bone density in isochronograft and heterochronograft limbs was measured by 3D micro-CT and compared with that of the opposite non-operated limbs. Results We observed inferior bone quality p in heterochronografts compared to isochronografts. After transplantation isochronografts did not exhibit increases in tibial lengths compared to opposite juvenile nonoperated tibias p or heterochronograft tibias p . However significant differences were observed between heterochrongraft tibial lengths when and opposite adult non operated tibial lengths p . Conclusions Age dependent alterations affect bone quality resulting in post transplantation osteoporosis in heterochronografts but not isochronografts. However the growth plates of transplanted limbs retain their properties of longitudinal growth and continue to grow at the same rate. Keywords Limb transplant isochronografts heterochronografts osteoporosis growth potentials of growth plate Background Osteoporosis often develops in transplanted and grafted bone after bone transplantation or grafting 1-4 due to revascularization and creeping substitution that occur during the repair process.
