Summary
Free bone grafting is theoretically sound for treating purulent infections, supported by animal studies and successful patient outcomes in spinal osteomyelitis cases. This method effectively addresses bone defects following infection removal.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Infectious Disease Research
- Regenerative Medicine
Background:
- Purulent infections pose significant challenges in bone defect reconstruction.
- Free bone grafting requires a strong theoretical foundation, especially in infected environments.
- Understanding the microcirculation and osteogenetic potential is crucial for successful bone regeneration.
Purpose of the Study:
- To establish theoretical grounds for free bone grafting in purulent infection settings.
- To evaluate the efficacy of free bone grafting in patients with hematogenic spine osteomyelitis.
Main Methods:
- Extensive experimental studies on 2000 animals (rabbits and dogs).
- Supplementary studies on 185 rabbits.
- Investigation of microcirculatory vascular bed using luminescent microscopy with tetracycline marking, photometry, and planimetry.
- Clinical observations and treatment of 47 patients.
Main Results:
- Free bone grafting is theoretically well-grounded based on microcirculatory bed condition and mother bone osteogenetic potential.
- Successful treatment of 47 patients with hematogenic spine osteomyelitis using bone grafting for post-excision defects.
- Demonstrated the viability of free bone grafting in managing complex bone infections.
Conclusions:
- The theoretical framework supports free bone grafting for purulent bone defects.
- Clinical application in spinal osteomyelitis confirms the efficacy of this reconstructive approach.
- Free bone grafting offers a viable solution for bone regeneration in infected sites.
