摘要
BACKGROUND Postinjury hypercoagulability occurs in >25% of injured patients, increasing risk of thromboembolic complications despite chemoprophylaxis. However, few clinically relevant animal models of posttraumatic hypercoagulability exist. We aimed to evaluate a rodent model of bilateral hindlimb injury as a preclinical model of postinjury hypercoagulability. METHODS Forty Wistar rats were anesthetized with isoflurane: 20 underwent bilateral hindlimb fibula fracture, soft tissue and muscular crush injury, and bone homogenate injection intended to mimic the physiological severity of bilateral femur fracture. Twenty sham rats underwent anesthesia only. Terminal citrated blood samples were drawn at 0, 6, 12, and 24 hours (n = 5 per timed group) for analysis by native thromboelastography in the presence and absence of taurocholic acid to augment fibrinolysis. Plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 and α-2 antiplasmin levels in plasma were assessed via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS Injured rats became hypercoagulable relative to baseline by 6 hours based on thromboelastography maximal amplitude (MA) and G ( p < 0.005); sham rats became hypercoagulable to a lesser degree by 24 hours ( p < 0.005). Compared with sham animals, injured rats were hypercoagulable by MA and G within 6 hours of injury, remained hypercoagulable by MA and G through at least 24 hours (all p < 0.01), and showed impaired fibrinolysis by taurocholic acid LY30 at 12 hours ( p = 0.019) and native LY30 at 24 hours ( p = 0.045). In terms of antifibrinolytic mediators, α-2 antiplasmin was elevated in trauma animals at 24 hours ( p = 0.009), and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 was elevated in trauma animals at 6 hours ( p = 0.004) and 12 hours ( p < 0.001) when compared with sham. CONCLUSIONS Orthopedic injury in rodents induced platelet and overall hypercoagulability within 6 hours and fibrinolytic impairment by 12 to 24 hours, mimicking postinjury hypercoagulability in injured patients. This rodent model of orthopedic injury may serve as a preclinical testing ground for potential therapies to mitigate hypercoagulability, maintain normal fibrinolysis, and prevent thromboembolic complications.
