The present study summarizes a series of six experiments designed to clarify these previously conflicting findings. Twenty-five male New Zealand White rabbits were divided into six experimental groups. In four of the groups, methyl-2-cyanoacrylate was used to glue the frontal and parietal bones together and temporarily immobilize the coronal suture. In the other two groups, the sutures were not immobilized. Polyethylene was used to separate the cyanoacrylate from the periosteum in two of the groups. The experiments were performed at 5 weeks of age, and the animals were killed at either 30, 45, or 180 days postoperatively. Metallic implants were placed in the frontal and parietal bones for monitoring growth and\/or sutural immobilization. Sutural fusion was confirmed radiographically or histologically. Based upon the findings it seems that mechanical immobilization of a suture does not induce fusion of that suture in rabbits. Furthermore, it appears that the mere application of methyl-2-cyanoacrylate to the periosteum overlying a suture will consistently cause the formation of a bony bridge in growing rabbits but not in nongrowing animals. The adhesive does not consistently induce synostosis if the periosteum is excised.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1983.58.1.0101","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,5,8]],"date-time":"2009-05-08T18:23:55Z","timestamp":1241807035000},"page":"101-108","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Experimental craniosynostosis in growing rabbits"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"58","author":[{"given":"Dennis L.","family":"Nappen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vincent G.","family":"Kokich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1","series-title":"J Neurosurg","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"794","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1980.53.6.0794","article-title":"The effects of mechanical immobilization on sutural development in the growing rabbit.","volume":"53","author":"Foley","year":"1980"},{"key":"b2","series-title":"Pediatrics","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"995","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.65.5.995","article-title":"Coronal craniostenosis: fetal head constraint as one possible cause.","volume":"65","author":"Graham","year":"1980"},{"key":"b3","series-title":"J Pediatr","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"747","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-3476(79)80728-3","article-title":"Sagittal craniostenosis: fetal head constraint as one possible cause.","volume":"95","author":"Graham","year":"1979"},{"key":"b4","series-title":"Pediatrics","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1000","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.65.5.1000","article-title":"Metopic craniostenosis as a consequence of fetal head constraint: two interesting experiments of nature.","volume":"65","author":"Graham","year":"1980"},{"key":"b5","series-title":"Anat Rec","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"457","DOI":"10.1002\/ar.1091360405","article-title":"Inhibition and stimulation of sutural fusion in the rat calvaria.","volume":"136","author":"Moss","year":"1960"},{"key":"b6","series-title":"J Neurosurg","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"187","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1979.50.2.0187","article-title":"Craniofacial growth following experimental craniosynostosis and craniectomy in rabbits.","volume":"50","author":"Persson","year":"1979"},{"key":"b7","series-title":"J Biomed Mater Res","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"97","DOI":"10.1002\/jbm.820080202","article-title":"Plastics and inflammation: an in vivo experimental study.","volume":"8","author":"Rigdon","year":"1974"},{"key":"b8","series-title":"Proc Finn Dent Soc","first-page":"164","article-title":"The role of the zygomatic arch in the growth of the skull in rabbits.","volume":"69","author":"Ritsil\u00e4","year":"1973"},{"key":"b9","article-title":"A histologic evaluation of methods of inducing premature fusion of craniofacial sutures in Macaca nemestrina.","author":"Williams","year":"1979"}],"container-title":["Journal of Neurosurgery"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/thejns.org\/view\/journals\/j-neurosurg\/58\/1\/article-p101.xml","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/thejns.org\/downloadpdf\/journals\/j-neurosurg\/58\/1\/article-p101.xml","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/thejns.org\/downloadpdf\/journals\/j-neurosurg\/58\/1\/article-p101.xml","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,13]],"date-time":"2022-11-13T05:15:47Z","timestamp":1668316547000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/thejns.org\/view\/journals\/j-neurosurg\/58\/1\/article-p101.xml"}},"subtitle":["The role of the periosteum"],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[1983,1]]},"references-count":9,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1"},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3171\/jns.1983.58.1.0101","relation":{},"ISSN":["0022-3085"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0022-3085","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[1983,1]]}}}
