Calcium phosphate cements to control bleeding in osteoporotic sternums.

چکیده
PURPOSE A new method to control bleeding from fragile, severely osteoporotic sternums in patients undergoing open heart surgery. DESCRIPTION From January 2006 and January 2007, we used orthopedic calcium phosphate cement in 11 patients to control sternal table bleeding. Each patient had greater than 35% of their sternal table surface missing and had associated bleeding after open heart surgery. The cement was packed into the deficient sternal table surface at the conclusion of surgery, just prior to closure. EVALUATION All patients had immediate cessation of bleeding from their sternums, despite large superficial sternal deficits, after the cement was applied. All patients made uneventful recoveries and none required exploration for bleeding after surgery. There were no instances of superficial or deep sternal wound infections. At follow-up all sternums were well healed and firm. Seven patients had computed tomographic scans performed at 6 months revealing excellent complete sternal healing. CONCLUSIONS Calcium phosphate cement can be used safely to control bleeding in patients with osteoporotic sternums and seems to be safe to use in the sternum.

This study deals with the effect of gelatin on physical and mechanical properties of calcium phosphate bone cements. The mixture of tetracalcium phosphate (TTCP) and dicalcium phosphate (DCPA) as the cement powder was mixed with 6 wt% Na2HPO4 solution containing different amount (0, 2, 5 and 8% in w/w) of foamed gelatin as liquid phase. The physical properties were determined in the terms of s...

Calcium phosphate cements (CPCs), using B-tricalcium phosphate (ß-TCP, Ca3 (P04)2), dicalcium phosphate (DCP, CaHP04), calcium carbonate (Ca CO3), and hydroxylapatite (HAp, Ca10(P04)6(OH)2) as powder cement and disodium hydrogen phosphate (Na2HP04) solution as liquid component were prepared. After mixing the powder and liquid constituents, injectable and self-setting calcium phosphate cements (...
متن کاملToF-SIMS analysis of osteoblast-like cells and their mineralized extracellular matrix on strontium enriched bone cements.
Commonly used implants for therapeutic approaches of non-systemically impaired bone do not sufficiently support the healing process of osteoporotic bone. Since strontium (II) has been proven as an effective anti-osteoporotic drug new types of strontium enriched calcium phosphate bone cements were developed. As osteoporosis is characterized by an imbalance of osteoblast and osteoclast activity t...

Failure of fixation is a common problem in the treatment of osteoporotic fractures around the hip. The reinforcement of bone stock or of fixation of the implant may be a solution. Our study assesses the existing evidence for the use of bone substitutes in the management of these fractures in osteoporotic patients. Relevant publications were retrieved through Medline research and further scrutin...
