The present study was performed to evaluate the effect of whole bone marrow aspirate on the healing of full-thickness meniscal tear in the avascular zone in dogs. This study was carried out on 18 health adult mongrel dogs which were subjected to meniscal tear, and were divided into 2 groups. The first group was treated using whole bone marrow aspirate, while in the other group no treatment used (control group). The evaluation of the study involved clinical examination of lameness as well as morphological and histo-pathological examinations of the meniscal tears. The study concluded that the use of BMA for treatment of the full-thickness longitudinal meniscal tear in the avascular region in a canine model was successful as determined by the achievement of full limb function and meniscal tear healing morphohistologically.
