FAI August 2022 Podcast: Treatment of Infected Nonunions With Bone Defects Using Autologous Bone Graft and Absorbable Antibiotic-Loaded Calcium Sulfate–Hydroxyapatite Paste
Manage episode 336829642 series 1184316
Revision surgery in the presence of infection carries high risks. We describe our results using a new technique to treat these challenging problems. We treated infected nonunions with cavitary voids with adjuvant antibiotic loaded calcium sulfate–hydroxyapatite paste composite and autologous bone graft (ABG) layer technique coupled with stable fixation.
In conclusion, layered autologous bone grafting with adjuvant antibiotic-loaded calcium sulfate–hydroxyapatite paste has been shown to be effective and safe in revision arthrodesis, with low comorbidities in void gaps without infection recurrence.
