چکیده

We report a case of chronic calcaneal osteomyelitis in a diabetic patient who was successfully treated with radical debridement and gentamycin-impregnated calcium phosphate cement. At 1.5-year follow-up, the patient could walk without any assistance. Calcium phosphate cement is an effective local antibiotic delivery system and a biocompatible material for filling the debrided space to facilitate bone formation.

A New Type of Biphasic Calcium Phosphate Cement as a Gentamicin Carrier for Osteomyelitis

Osteomyelitis therapy is a long-term and inconvenient procedure for a patient. Antibiotic-loaded bone cements are both a complementary and alternative treatment option to intravenous antibiotic therapy for the treatment of osteomyelitis. In the current study, the biphasic calcium phosphate cement (CPC), called α -TCP/HAP ( α -tricalcium phosphate/hydroxyapatite) biphasic cement, was prepared as...

Treatment of infected tibial nonunion with tobramycin-impregnated calcium sulfate: report of two cases.

The treatment of infected tibial nonunion usually includes a staged reconstruction protocol. We present 2 patients with tibial nonunion and plate loosening with oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection. The patients were treated using the removal of the plate, radical debridement, and implantation of gentamycin-impregnated cement beads during the first stage. During the second stage,...

Amphotericin B-impregnated bone cement to treat refractory coccidioidal osteomyelitis.

Use of amphotericin B-impregnated bone cement in combination with systemic antifungals for the treatment of coccidioidal osteomyelitis offers the potential for sustained local concentrations of drug at the site of the infection. Amphotericin B levels in bone of up to 5.1 μg/g have been demonstrated 4 months after placement of bone cement.
