  • Federal government websites often end in .gov or .mil. [4] reported that four of 19 patients who had an opening-wedge osteotomy underwent hardware removal, one patient underwent fracture fixation, and two patients were converted to TKA. (oceanessay.com)
  • This technique creates a wedge shaped defect in the bone, which can be managed either by leaving to heal or grafting with bone, bone substitute or other synthetic materials. (openorthopaedicsjournal.com)
  • Such grafts can be of biological origin or be composed of a synthetic bone substitute. (bvsalud.org)
  • Patients with chronic osteomyelitis and infected non-union who received either bioactive glass or autologous bone grafts between 2013 and 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. (copernicus.org)
  • In large bone lesions, such as severe bone fractures, bone cancer or other diseases, bone grafts substituting the lost bone might be necessary. (bvsalud.org)
  • Autograft and allograft have both been associated with complications and the use of bone substitute wedges has been advocated to improve the outcome. (openorthopaedicsjournal.com)
  • Secondary endpoints were bone healing, functional outcome, and occurrence of complications. (copernicus.org)
  • Patients with multidrug-resistant pathogens had a significantly higher rate of incomplete bone healing ( p =0 .033) and a 3-fold higher risk of complications in both groups. (copernicus.org)
  • These often involve damage to the surrounding soft tissue, resulting in complications such as tissue and deep bone infection or long-term non-union. (biocomposites.com)
  • Case 2: A 38-year-old man sustained a lateral tibia plateau fracture (Müller AO Classification 41-B.3/Schatzker type II). (aofoundation.org)
  • Norian drillable is a calcium-phosphate-based bone-void filler, based on the same ceramic phase as Norian SRS. (aofoundation.org)
  • The ceramic component is slowly remodeled over a period of years, at a rate depending on the metabolic activity of the host bone. (aofoundation.org)
  • Bone substitute wedges often appear as well delineated areas on radiographs several years following the osteotomy and this failure of full incorporation raises the question of the mechanical strength of the tibia and whether it will be suitable to undergo conversion to a total knee replacement when required. (openorthopaedicsjournal.com)
  • Bioactive glass S53P4 is an inorganic bone substitute. (copernicus.org)
  • Bioactive glass appears to be a suitable bone substitute not only for successful control of infection and defect filling but also for bone healing in cases of infected non-union. (copernicus.org)
  • Please note that the screws should not be placed near the edge of the cement as this may cause a fracture of the bone-void filler. (aofoundation.org)
  • Two screws were placed through the fiber-enhanced calcium phosphate. (aofoundation.org)
  • Thin and low profile to prevent overlying soft-tissue irritation, the titanium plate is attached to bone using 4.5 mm and 6.5 mm cancellous screws that seat flush to the plate surface. (oceanessay.com)
  • After 6 months the fracture was healed without secondary loss of reduction. (aofoundation.org)
  • This is of particular relevance in elderly patients with metaphyseal fractures with bone loss, eg, due to impaction. (aofoundation.org)
  • Note that at that time the degradation of the void filler is visible. (aofoundation.org)
