Abstract:
Objective To investigate the efficacy of antibiotic cement column combined with iliac bone graft in the treat-ment of open fracture with bone defect of distal femur.Methods From October 2014 to March 2021,16 patients of open frac-ture bone defect of distal femur were treated with antibiotic bone cement column and iliac bone graft,including 12 males and 4 females.The age ranged from 28 to 68 years old.There were 11 cases of traffic accident injury,5 cases of falling injury,3 cases as Gustilo type Ⅰ,5 cases as type Ⅱ and 8 cases as type Ⅲ A.AO classification was used:9 cases of C2 type and 7 cases of C3 type.The time from injury to final bone grafting ranged from 4 to 119 days.The length of bone defect ranged from 2 tol0 cm.Fractures healing time,complications and knee function Merchan score were recorded.Results All the 16 patients were fol-lowed up from 9 to 29 months.The incisions of 16 patients healed in one stage without postoperative infection,plate fracture,limb shortening and valgus and varus deformity.The healing time randed from 4 to 10 months.Knee joint function according to the Merchant scoring standard,showed that 8 cases were excellent,4 cases were good,3 cases were fair,and 1 case was poor.Conclusion The use of antibiotic bone cement column combined with iliac bone graft in the treatment of open and complex bone defects of distal femur is an effective surgical method to prevent infection,assist fracture reduction,increase fixation strength and significantly reduce the amount of bone grafting.
