Abstract

PANCORBO SANDOVAL, Enrique et al. Application of HAP-200® coralline porous hydroxyapatite with antibiotics in tibia osteomyelitis. Rev Cubana Ortop Traumatol [online]. 2010, vol.24, n.1, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3100.

Despite the current surgical treatment and the applications of wide-spectrum antibiotics in patients presenting with acute osteomyelitis from the at distance first septic processes or by direct inoculation, there is a percentage of patients evolving to chronic stage. Chronic osteomyelitis represent approximately the 4,2% of sequalae of tibia exposed fractures and Staphylococcus aureus is the more frequent isolated germ. Two cases are presented effectively treated by curettage of the lesion and filled with HAO-200 ® coralline porous hydroxyapatite impregnated with Gentamicin and a antibiotic systemic application. Type os lesion was assessed as well as the analytical and radiologic features. The aim of present paper was to demonstrate the usefulness of this biomaterial in tibia septic surgery.

Keywords : HAP-300 ® coralline porous Hydroxyapatite.
