Abstract
Objective To investigate the effectiveness of debridement-vacuum sealing drainage (VSD)-modified external fixation antibiotic-impregnated cement semi-open technique in treatment of chronic ulcer wounds. Methods Clinical data of 43 patients with chronic ulcer wounds who met the selection criteria and admitted between January 2019 and June 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 23 cases were treated with debridement-VSD-modified external fixation antibiotic-impregnated cement semi-open technique (improved group), and 20 cases were treated with debridement-VSD-traditional antibiotic-impregnated cement technique (control group). There was no significant difference in gender, age, constituent ratio of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, constituent ratio of patients with smoking history, body mass index, wound site, and other baseline data between the two groups ( P>0.05). The healing quality and healing time, the positive rate of bacterial culture after bone cement coating, the loosening rate of bone cement, the number of operations, the number of hospitalizations, the length of hospitalization, and the cost of hospitalization were recorded and compared between the two groups. Results Compared with the control group, the positive rate of bacterial culture after bone cement coating and the loosening rate of bone cement in the improved group was significantly lower, as well as the number of operations, the number of hospitalizations, the length of hospitalization, and hospitalization cost significantly reduced ( P<0.05). Wound repair was completed in both groups without amputation. The wound healing quality of the improved group was better than that of the control group and the wound healing time was shorter, the differences were significant ( P<0.05). All patients were followed up 1-5 years (mean 3.4 years), and no ulcers recurred during follow-up. Conclusion Debridement-VSD-modified external fixation antibiotic-impregnated cement semi-open technique in the treatment of chronic ulcer wounds can effectively reduce the loosening rate of bone cement, facilitate the induced membrane formation and wound healing, and significantly reduce the number of operations and shorten the length of hospital stay.

Abstract
Aims The aim of the present study was to assess the outcomes of the induced membrane technique (IMT) for the management of infected segmental bone defects, and to analyze predictive factors associated with unfavourable outcomes. Methods Between May 2012 and December 2020, 203 patients with infected segmental bone defects treated with the IMT were enrolled. The digital medical records of these patients were retrospectively analyzed. Factors associated with unfavourable outcomes were identified through logistic regression analysis. Results Among the 203 enrolled patients, infection recurred in 27 patients (13.3%) after bone grafting. The union rate was 75.9% (154 patients) after second-stage surgery without additional procedures, and final union was achieved in 173 patients (85.2%) after second-stage surgery with or without additional procedures. The mean healing time was 9.3 months (3 to 37). Multivariate logistic regression analysis of 203 patients showed that the number (≥ two) of debridements (first stage) was an independent risk factor for infection recurrence and nonunion. Larger defect sizes were associated with higher odds of nonunion. After excluding 27 patients with infection recurrence, multivariate analysis of the remaining 176 patients suggested that intramedullary nail plus plate internal fixation, smoking, and an allograft-to-autograft ratio exceeding 1:3 adversely affected healing time. Conclusion The IMT is an effective method to achieve infection eradication and union in the management of infected segmental bone defects. Our study identified several risk factors associated with unfavourable outcomes. Some of these factors are modifiable, and the risk of adverse outcomes can be reduced by adopting targeted interventions or strategies. Surgeons can fully inform patients with non-modifiable risk factors preoperatively, and may even use other methods for bone defect reconstruction.

Abstract
Objective To explore the effectiveness of using antibiotic bone cement-coated plates internal fixation technology as a primary treatment for Gustilo type ⅢB tibiofibular open fractures. Methods The clinical data of 24 patients with Gustilo type ⅢB tibiofibular open fractures who were admitted between January 2018 and December 2021 and met the selection criteria was retrospectively analyzed. Among them, there were 18 males and 6 females, aged from 25 to 65 years with an average age of 45.8 years. There were 3 cases of proximal tibial fracture, 6 cases of middle tibial fracture, 15 cases of distal tibial fracture, and 21 cases of fibular fracture. The time from injury to emergency surgery ranged from 3 to 12 hours, with an average of 5.3 hours. All patients had soft tissue defects ranging from 10 cm×5 cm to 32 cm×15 cm. The time from injury to skin flap transplantation for wound coverage ranged from 1 to 7 days, with an average of 4.1 days, and the size of skin flap ranged from 10 cm×5 cm to 33 cm×15 cm. Ten patients had bone defects with length of 2-12 cm (mean, 7.1 cm). After emergency debridement, the tibial fracture end was fixed with antibiotic bone cement-coated plates, and the bone defect area was filled with antibiotic bone cement. Within 7 days, the wound was covered with a free flap, and the bone cement was replaced while performing definitive internal fixation of the fracture. In 10 patients with bone defect, all the bone cement was removed and the bone defect area was grafted after 7-32 weeks (mean, 11.8 weeks). The flap survival, wound healing of the affected limb, complications, and bone healing were observed after operation, and the quality of life was evaluated according to the short-form 36 health survey scale (SF-36 scale) [including physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS) scores] at 1 month, 6 months after operation, and at last follow-up. Results All 24 patients were followed up 14-38 months (mean, 21.6 months). All the affected limbs were successfully salvaged and all the transplanted flaps survived. One case had scar hyperplasia in the flap donor site, and 1 case had hypoesthesia (grade S3) of the skin around the scar. There were 2 cases of infection in the recipient area of the leg, one of which was superficial infection after primary flap transplantation and healed after debridement, and the other was sinus formation after secondary bone grafting and was debrided again 3 months later and treated with Ilizarov osteotomy, and healed 8 months later. The bone healing time of the remaining 23 patients ranged from 4 to 9 months, with an average of 6.1 months. The scores of PCS were 44.4±6.5, 68.3±8.3, 80.4±6.9, and the scores of MCS were 59.2±8.2, 79.5±7.8, 90.0±6.6 at 1 month, 6 months after operation, and at last follow-up, respectively. The differences were significant between different time points ( P<0.05). Conclusion Antibiotic bone cement-coated plates internal fixation can be used in the primary treatment of Gustilo type ⅢB tibiofibular open fractures, and has the advantages of reduce the risk of infection in fracture fixation, reducing complications, and accelerating the functional recovery of patients.

Abstract
Complex lower extremity trauma reconstruction remains a challenge. This study used an internal fixation composite structure of antibiotic cement plates as a temporary fixation to treat lower extremity Grade III open fractures; thus, reducing the treatment period and complications of external fixation. We aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of this technique in the initial surgery stage. Between January 2018 and March 2021, 20 patients with Gustilo grade IIIB/C open fractures received an antibiotic cement-coated locking plate as a temporary internal fixator during initial surgery. Thorough debridement and temporary internal fixation were performed with a 3.5-mm system antibiotic cement-coated locking plate. Ten patients required free bone fragment removal, followed by bone cement packing. The final stage involved internal fixation and wound repair with a free anterolateral thigh flap. Clinical and imaging results were retrospectively analysed. The repair time ranged 1-7 days. All flaps survived. Two patients experienced wound infection, and one developed severe bone infection 3 months after three-stage bone graft surgery. Autologous cancellous bone grafting was performed on 10 patients with bone defects 6 weeks after surgery. Bone union was universally achieved after 1 year. This method proved safe and effective, successfully repairing Grade III open fractures of the lower extremity 1-7 days post-treatment.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of limited internal fixation combined with a hinged external fixator in the treatment of peri-elbow bone infection. Methods The clinical data of 19 patients with peri-elbow bone infection treated with limited internal fixation combined with a hinged external fixator between May 2018 and May 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 15 males and 4 females with an average age of 44.6 years (range, 28-61 years). There were 13 cases of distal humerus fractures and 6 cases of proximal ulna fractures. All the 19 cases were infected after internal fixation of fracture, and 2 cases were complicated with radial nerve injury. According to Cierny-Mader anatomical classification, 11 cases were type Ⅱ, 6 cases were type Ⅲ, and 2 cases were type Ⅳ. The duration of bone infection was 1-3 years. After primary debridement, the bone defect was (3.04±0.28) cm, and the antibiotic bone cement was implanted into the defect area, and the external fixator was installed; 3 cases were repaired with latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap, and 2 cases were repaired with lateral brachial fascial flap. Bone defects repair and reconstruction were performed after 6-8 weeks of infection control. The wound healing was observed, and white blood cell (WBC), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and C-reaction protein (CRP) were reexamined regularly after operation to evaluate the infection control. X-ray films of the affected limb were taken regularly after operation to observe the bone healing in the defect area. At last follow-up, the flexion and extension range of motion and the total range of motion of the elbow joint were observed and recorded, and compared with those before operation, and the function of the elbow joint was evaluated by Mayo score. Results All patients were followed up 12-34 months (mean, 26.2 months). The wounds healed in 5 cases after skin flap repair. Two cases of recurrent infection were effectively controlled by debridement again and replacement of antibiotic bone cement. The infection control rate was 89.47% (17/19) in the first stage. Two patients with radial nerve injury had poor muscle strength of the affected limb, and the muscle strength of the affected limb recovered from grade Ⅲ to about grade Ⅳ after rehabilitation exercise. During the follow-up period, there was no complication such as incision ulceration, exudation, bone nonunion, infection recurrence, or infection in the bone harvesting area. Bone healing time ranged from 16 to 37 weeks, with an average of 24.2 weeks. WBC, ESR, CRP, PCT, and elbow flexion, extension, and total range of motions significantly improved at last follow-up ( P<0.05). According to Mayo elbow scoring system, the results were excellent in 14 cases, good in 3 cases, and fair in 2 cases, and the excellent and good rate was 89.47%. Conclusion Limited internal fixation combined with a hinged external fixator in the treatment of the peri-elbow bone infection can effectively control infection and restore the function of the elbow joint.

Strategies Trauma Limb Reconstr 2023; 18:73-81. [PMID: 37942437 PMCID: PMC10628616 DOI: 10.5005/jp-journals-10080-1586] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2022] [Accepted: 04/30/2023] [Indexed: 11/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Antibiotic-impregnated cement-coated plates (ACPs) have been used successfully for temporary internal fixation between stages in the two-stage treatment of infected non-unions. We describe our approach of using an ACP in the staged treatment of a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)-infected distal femoral non-union below a total hip prosthesis. In addition, we present the results of an in vitro experiment to provide an in-depth insight into the capacity of ACPs in (i) treating residual biofilm and (ii) preventing bacterial recolonisation. Materials and methods In the first stage, we used a titanium LISS plate coated with hand-mixed PALACOS with vancomycin (PAL-V) for temporary internal fixation combined with commercially prepared COPAL with gentamicin and vancomycin (COP-GV) to fill the segmental defect. In the second stage, the non-union was treated with double-plate fixation and bone grafting.A Kirby-Bauer agar disc diffusion assay was performed to determine the antimicrobial activity of both ACPs and a drug-release assay to measure antibiotic release over time. A biofilm killing assay was also carried out to determine if the antibiotic released was able to reduce or eradicate biofilm of the patient's MRSA strain. Results At one-year follow-up, there was complete bone-bridging across the previous non-union. The patient was pain-free and ambulatory without need for further surgery. Both ACPs with COP-GV and PAL-V exerted an antimicrobial effect against the MRSA strain with peak concentrations of antibiotic released within the first 24 hours. Concentrations released from COP-GV in the first 24 hours in vitro caused a 7.7-fold log reduction of colony-forming units (CFU) in the biofilm. At day 50, both COP-GV and PAL-V still released concentrations of antibiotic above the respective minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC), likely contributing to the positive clinical outcome. Conclusion The use of an ACP provides stability and infection control in the clinical scenario of an infected non-union. This is confirmed in vitro where the release of antibiotics from ACPs is characterised by an early burst followed by a prolonged sustained release above the MIC until 50 days. The burst release from COP-GV reduces CFU in the biofilm and prevents early recolonisation through synergistic activity of the released vancomycin and gentamicin. Clinical significance An antibiotic-impregnated cement-coated plate is a useful addition to the surgeon's armamentarium to provide temporary internal fixation without the disadvantages of external fixation and contribute to infection control in an infected non-union.

Efficacy comparison of antibiotic bone cement-coated implants and external fixations for treating infected bone defects. INTERNATIONAL ORTHOPAEDICS 2023; 47:1171-1179. [PMID: 36862164 PMCID: PMC10079742 DOI: 10.1007/s00264-023-05727-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2022] [Accepted: 01/30/2023] [Indexed: 03/03/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the clinical efficacy of antibiotic bone cement-coated implants compared with external fixations for treating infected bone defects. METHODS We retrospectively enrolled 119 patients with infected bone defects in our hospital from January 2010 to June 2021, of which 56 were treated with antibiotic bone cement-coated implants and 63 were with external fixation. RESULTS The pre-operative and post-operative haematological indexes were tested to assess the infection control; the post-operative CRP level in the internal fixation group was lower than that in the external fixation group. No statistical significance was found in the rate of infection recurrence, loosening and rupture of the fixation, and amputation between the two groups. Twelve patients in the external fixation group had pin tract infection. In the evaluation of the Paley score scale, bone healing aspect revealed no significant difference between the two groups, while in the limb function aspect, antibiotic cement-coated implant group showed a much better score than the external fixation group (P = 0.002). The anxiety evaluation scale result also showed lower score in the antibiotic cement implant group (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Compared with external fixation, antibiotic bone cement-coated implant had the same effect on controlling infection and was more effective in recovering limb function and mental health in the first-stage treatment of infected bone defects after debridement.

3D-Printed Gentamicin-Releasing Poly-ε-Caprolactone Composite Prevents Fracture-Related Staphylococcus aureus Infection in Mice. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14071363. [PMID: 35890261 PMCID: PMC9320525 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14071363] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2022] [Revised: 06/19/2022] [Accepted: 06/20/2022] [Indexed: 12/07/2022] Open
Abstract
Bacterial infections are a serious healthcare complication in orthopedic and trauma surgery worldwide. Compared to systemic, local antibiotic prophylaxis has been shown to provide a higher antibiotic dose and bioavailability at the bone site with minimum toxic effects. However, there are still not enough biomaterial and antibiotic combinations available for personalized implant sizes for patients. The aim of this study was to develop a bone fixation plate coating made of a composite of poly-ε-caprolactone, hydroxyapatite and halloysite nanotubes loaded with gentamicin sulphate and fabricated via fused filament fabrication 3D printing technology. The mechanical and thermal properties of the biomaterial were analyzed. The in vitro release kinetics of gentamicin sulphate were evaluated for 14 days showing a burst release during the first two days that was followed by a sustained release of bactericidal concentrations. The composite loaded with 2 and 5% gentamicin sulphate exhibited complete antimicrobial killing of Staphylococcus aureus in an ex vivo mouse femur fixation plate infection model. Moreover, a fixation plate of the composite loaded with 5% of gentamicin sulphate was able to prevent S. aureus infection in the bone and surrounding tissue in an in vivo mouse bone fixation plate infection model 3 days post-surgery. In conclusion, the newly developed composite material successfully prevented infection in vivo. Additionally, the ability to use fused filament fabrication 3D printing to produce patient-specific implants may provide a wider range of personalized solutions for patients.

Antibacterial Vancomycin@ZIF-8 Loaded PVA Nanofiber Membrane for Infected Bone Repair. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23105629. [PMID: 35628439 PMCID: PMC9145349 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23105629] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2022] [Revised: 05/13/2022] [Accepted: 05/15/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Bone substitutes with strong antibacterial properties and bone regeneration effects have an inherent potential in the treatment of severe bone tissue infections, such as osteomyelitis. In this study, vancomycin (Van) was loaded into zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) to prepare composite particles, which is abbreviated as V@Z. As a pH-responsive particle, ZIF-8 can be cleaved in the weak acid environment caused by bacterial infection to realize the effective release of drugs. Then, V@Z was loaded into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber by electrospinning to prepare PVA/V@Z composite bone filler. The drug-loading rate of V@Z was about 6.735%. The membranes exhibited super hydrophilicity, water absorption and pH-controlled Van release behavior. The properties of anti E. coli and S. aureus were studied under the pH conditions of normal physiological tissues and infected tissues (pH 7.4 and pH 6.5, respectively). It was found that the material had good surface antibacterial adhesion and antibacterial property. The PVA/V@Z membrane had the more prominent bacteria-killing effect compared with the same amount of single antibacterial agent containing membrane such as ZIF-8 or Van loaded PVA, and the antibacterial rate was up to 99%. The electrospun membrane had good biocompatibility and can promote MC3T3-E1 cell spreading on it.
