Abstract:
Objective To investigate the principles and effects of cancellous bone wrapping grafting for treatment of segmental defects of long bone.Methods From January 2008 to December 2015,50 patients with segmental long bone defect were treated by various wrapping grafting with rich autogenous cancellous bone.They were 31 males and 19 females,aged from 13 to 69 years (average,34.6 years).The cancellous bone was wrapped by titanium mesh in 8 cases,by wire mesh in 10,by line binding in 13,and by induced membrane in 19.The bone defect was located at tibia in 22 cases,at radius in 10,at humerus in 8,at ulna in 7 and at femur in 3.The length of bone defect ranged from 3 to 9 cm,averaging 5.9 em.Bone healing,complications and functionary recovery of adjacent joint were recorded.The bone defect healing and functionary recovery of adjacent joint were evaluated according to the Paley criteria.Results The incisions healed by the first intention in 48 cases and by the second in 2.All were followed up for 12 to 48 months (average,19.1 months).All the bone defects healed by the first intention but one treated by induced membrane wrapping which was healed 15 months later by the secondary grafting due to nonunion at ends.The total clinical healing time ranged from 3 to 16 months (average,6.1 months).The last follow-ups showed that all the affected limbs resumed weight-bearing activities.The healing of bone defects was graded as excellent in all but one in the group of induced membrane wrapping.Totally,the functionary recovery of adjacent joint was excellent in 18,good in 22,fair in 7 and poor in 3 cases (an excellent and good rate of 80.0％).Conclusions Cancellous bone wrapping grafting can avoid or significantly reduce loosening and absorption of cancellous bone graft after traditional bone grafting.Although it is effective for treatment of large segmental bone defect,its methods should vary according to the specific conditions of the patient.
