Gentamycin-impregnated calcium phosphate cement for calcaneal osteomyelitis: a case report.
نویسندگان
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.

Intra-articular calcaneal fracture: closed reduction and balloon-assisted augmentation with calcium phosphate cement: a case report
INTRODUCTION For decades, open reduction and internal fixation was the surgical treatment of choice for intra-articular calcaneal fractures, either with or without any augmentation. Delayed weight bearing and wound-related complications are still unresolved. Aiming at a minimally invasive therapy with accelerated mobilization, we applied closed reduction and balloon-assisted augmentation with c...
متن کاملAntibiotic-impregnated cement spacer as definitive management for osteomyelitis
BACKGROUND Osteomyelitis is a challenge for orthopaedic surgeons. There is a lack of scientific evidence to guide treatment. The purpose of this study was to report the clinical outcome of unplanned retention of antibiotic-impregnated cement spacer (ACS) in the management of osteomyelitis. METHODS Eight patients (7 with tibial infections and 1 with a calcaneal infection) with osteomyelitis re...
متن کاملA 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...
متن کاملTreatment 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,...
متن کاملAmphotericin 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.
