BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2024; 25:455. [PMID: 38851675 PMCID: PMC11162015 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-024-07567-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2024] [Accepted: 06/04/2024] [Indexed: 06/10/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Masquelet membrane induction technology is one of the treatment strategies for large bone defect (LBD). However, the angiogenesis ability of induced membrane decreases with time and autologous bone grafting is associated with donor site morbidity. This study investigates if the PRP-FG-nHA/PA66 scaffold can be used as a spacer instead of PMMA to improve the angiogenesis ability of induced membrane and reduce the amount of autologous bone graft. METHODS Platelet rich plasma (PRP) was prepared and PRP-FG-nHA/PA66 scaffold was synthesized and observed. The sustained release of VEGFA and porosity of the scaffold were analyzed. We established a femur LBD model in male SD rats. 55 rats were randomly divided into four groups depending on the spacer filled in the defect area. "Defect only" group (n = 10), "PMMA" group (n = 15), "PRP-nHA/PA66" group (n = 15) and "PRP-FG-nHA/PA66" group (n = 15 ). At 6 weeks, the spacers were removed and the defects were grafted. The induced membrane and bone were collected and stained. The bone formation was detected by micro-CT and the callus union was scored on a three point system. RESULTS The PRP-FG-nHA/PA66 scaffold was porosity and could maintain a high concentration of VEGFA after 30 days of preparation. The induced membrane in PRP-FG-nHA/PA66 group was thinner than PMMA, but the vessel density was higher.The weight of autogenous bone grafted in PRP-FG-nHA/PA66 group was significantly smaller than that of PMMA group. In PRP-FG-nHA/PA66 group, the bone defect was morphologically repaired. CONCLUSION The study showed that PRP-FG-nHA/PA66 scaffold can significantly reduce the amount of autologous bone graft, and can achieve similar bone defect repair effect as PMMA. Our findings provide some reference and theoretical support for the treatment of large segmental bone defects in humans.

Induced-membrane technique for lower limb reconstruction after malignant bone tumour resection in paediatric patients: Complication and re-operation rates. Orthop Traumatol Surg Res 2024; 110:103875. [PMID: 38556207 DOI: 10.1016/j.otsr.2024.103875] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2022] [Revised: 06/29/2023] [Accepted: 07/11/2023] [Indexed: 04/02/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to assess the complication and re-operation rates, evaluate the risk of non-union, and describe the functional outcomes at last follow-up in children and adolescents after lower-limb malignant tumour resection and reconstruction using the induced-membrane technique. HYPOTHESIS Weight-bearing resumption 6 weeks after the second stage of the induced-membrane procedure promotes bone healing. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study included 13 patients (9 with osteosarcoma, 3 with Ewing's sarcomas, and 1 with alveolar sarcoma) managed between 2000 and 2020 by oncological femoral or tibial resection followed, at a distance from adjuvant chemotherapy, by reconstruction using the induced-membrane technique. Non-union was the primary outcome measure and the MusculoSkeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) lower-limb functional score was the secondary outcome measure. Mean follow-up was 6.1 years (range, 2.0-12.7). At last follow-up, mean age was 18.1 years (range, 11.0-26.0) and the mean MSTS score was 66.6% (37.0-93.0%). RESULTS After the second reconstruction stage, 8 complications developed in 6 patients (46%). Either a complication or limb-length inequality required 12 re-operations in 8 patients (61.5%). Non-union occurred after reconstruction in 5 (38.5%) patients. Early resumption of 50% weight-bearing 6 weeks after reconstruction was associated with bone healing (p=0.02). CONCLUSION The non-union rate was 38.5%. Partial, 50% weight-bearing with two elbow crutches and an orthosis, if allowed by construct stability, may promote bone healing. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV.

Abstract
The induced membrane technique is an innovative approach for repairing critical bone defects and has been applied recently in patients with congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT). CPT is frequently associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Here, we briefly describe the clinical results of the induced membrane technique in NF1-deficient patients with CPT and in an animal model of CPT. Furthermore, we discuss the hypotheses used to explain inconsistent outcomes for the induced membrane technique in CPT-especially when associated with NF1.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT) is a rare condition closely associated with neurofibromatosis type I. Affected children are born with anterolateral bowing of the tibia which progresses to pathologic fracture, pseudarthrosis, and high risk of refracture even after initial union has been attained. There is currently no consensus on the classification of this disease or consensus on its treatment. The purpose of this review is to (1) review the clinical presentation, etiology, epidemiology, classification, and natural history of congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia and (2) review the existing trends in treatment of congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia and its associated complications. RECENT FINDINGS Current treatment protocols focus primarily on combining intramedullary fixation with external or internal fixation to achieve union rates between 74 and 100%. Intramedullary devices should be retained as long as possible to prevent refracture. Cross-union techniques, though technically difficult, have a reported union rate of 100% and no refractures at mid- to long-term follow-up. Vascularized fibular grafting and induced membrane technique can be successful, but at the cost of numerous surgical procedures. Growth modulation is a promising new approach to preventing fracture altogether, though further study with larger patient series is necessary. The primary consideration in treatment of CPT is expected union rate and refracture risk. Combined intramedullary and external or internal fixation, especially with cross-union techniques, show most promise. Perhaps most exciting is further research on preventing fracture through guided growth, which may reduce the morbidity of multiple surgical procedures which have been the mainstay of treatment for CPT thus far.

Masquelet's induced membrane technique associated with Reamer Irrigation Aspiration grafting and intramedullary Nailing (MaRIAN) for chronic diaphyseal osteomyelitis of the lower limb. Orthop Traumatol Surg Res 2022; 108:103395. [PMID: 36084914 DOI: 10.1016/j.otsr.2022.103395] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2021] [Revised: 03/29/2022] [Accepted: 04/08/2022] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Masquelet's induced membrane technique offers a definitive contribution to the treatment of diaphyseal osteomyelitis. To overcome its drawbacks while maintaining its principles, technical modifications have been proposed: antibiotic cement, femoral intramedullary autograft harvested by RIA (Reamer Irrigation Aspiration) and interlocking nails. MATERIAL AND METHOD This retrospective study gathered patients with chronic osteomyelitis of the femur or tibia. The first surgical stage consisted of bone resection in the healthy zone and use of a gentamicin cement spacer to fill the bone defect. The second stage consisted of the placement of a statically locked intramedullary nail associated with a bone autograft using the RIA technique. RESULTS Among this group of 12 men with diaphyseal osteomyelitis; 9 tibial and 2 femoral, and 1 knee nonunion, the mean bone defect was 7.3cm (±6.7). The mean time between the 2 stages was 2.7months (±3) with a mean antibiotic period of 3.25weeks (±3). There was a femoral diaphyseal fracture at the donor site, and a wrong trajectory intraoperatively during the RIA. Two patients with tibial nonunion presented with nail rupture without septic recurrence. A septic recurrence was healed by removal of the nail. At a minimum follow-up of 18months, with an average of 5years, consolidation was complete without infectious recurrence. Despite the statistical weakness related to the size of the cohort, the resumption of early weight bearing (OR=-7.68 95% CI [-13.33 to -2.08] (p=0.01)) and nail dynamization seemed to have an impact on the formation of complete consolidation (OR=-0.86 95% CI [-1.39 to -0.33] (p=0.007)). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION This short series, compared to the literature, demonstrated that the proposed technical modifications improved the overall management of this rare and challenging condition while maintaining the reliability of the original technique. Dynamization was also seen to be of particular interest. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV, retrospective study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Ilizarov bone transport (IBT) and the Masquelet induced membrane technique (IMT) have specific merits and shortcomings, but numerous studies have shown their efficacy in the management of extensive long-bone defects of various etiologies, including congenital deficiencies. Combining their strong benefits seems a promising strategy to enhance bone regeneration and reduce the risk of refractures in the management of post-traumatic and congenital defects and nonunion that failed to respond to other treatments.
AIM To combine IBT and IMT for the management of severe tibial defects and pseudarthrosis, and present preliminary results of this technological solution.
METHODS Seven adults with post-traumatic tibial defects (subgroup A) and nine children (subgroup B) with congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT) were treated with the combination of IMT and IBT after the failure of previous treatments. The mean number of previous surgeries was 2.0 ± 0.2 in subgroup A and 3.3 ± 0.7 in subgroup B. Step 1 included Ilizarov frame placement and spacer introduction into the defect to generate the induced membrane which remained in the interfragmental gap after spacer removal. Step 2 was an osteotomy and bone transport of the fragment through the tunnel in the induced membrane, its compression and docking for consolidation without grafting. The outcomes were retrospectively studied after a mean follow-up of 20.8 ± 2.7 mo in subgroup A and 25.3 ± 2.3 mo in subgroup B.
RESULTS The “true defect” after resection was 13.3 ± 1.7% in subgroup A and 31.0 ± 3.0% in subgroup B relative to the contralateral limb. Upon completion of treatment, defects were filled by 75.4 ± 10.6% and 34.6 ± 4.2%, respectively. Total duration of external fixation was 397 ± 9.2 and 270.1 ± 16.3 d, including spacer retention time of 42.4 ± 4.5 and 55.8 ± 6.6 d, in subgroups A and B, respectively. Bone infection was not observed. Postoperative complications were several cases of pin-tract infection and regenerate deformity in both subgroups. Ischemic regeneration was observed in two cases of subgroup B. Complications were corrected during the course of treatment. Bone union was achieved in all patients of subgroup A and in seven patients of subgroup B. One non-united CPT case was further treated with the Ilizarov compression method only and achieved union. After a follow-up period of two to three years, refractures occurred in four cases of united CPT.
CONCLUSION The combination of IMT and IBT provides good outcomes in post-traumatic tibial defects after previous treatment failure but external fixation is longer due to spacer retention. Refractures may occur in severe CPT.

Abstract
» The induced membrane technique (IMT) takes advantage of an osteoinductive environment that is created by the placement of a cement spacer into a bone defect. » Most commonly, a polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) spacer has been used, but spacers made from other materials have emerged and achieved good clinical outcomes. » The IMT has demonstrated good results for long-bone repair; however, more research is required in order to optimize union rates as well as delineate more precise indications and surgical timing.
