Abstract:
Antibiotic-loaded bone cement is an alternative treatment option that can be used in the surgical management of osteomyelitis requiring bone resection and reconstruction. Current literature provides a focus on its use within the orthopedic patient group with scarce literature surrounding the cardiothoracic patient demographic. We hereby demonstrate the use of an antibiotic-loaded bone cement in the definitive management of neosternal osteomyelitis and nonunion, avoiding the need for further complex autografting and internal fixation.
