This review highlights coral bone grafts, specifically coralline hydroxyapatite, for bone defect repair. These biocompatible bone graft substitutes show promise in orthopedic procedures like triple arthrodesis.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Biomaterials Science

Background:

  • Review of current bone graft options.
  • Focus on coralline hydroxyapatite bone graft substitutes.
  • Part of ongoing research into coral bone grafts for triple arthrodesis.

Observation:

  • Eight cases of triple arthrodesis using coral bone grafts were performed.
  • Seven cases utilized granular chips to pack the subtalar joint.
  • One case involved a 26-year-old male with a calcaneal fracture treated with a coralline hydroxyapatite block for distraction at the calcaneocuboid joint.

Findings:

  • Coralline hydroxyapatite demonstrates safety and biocompatibility.
  • The patient in the presented case is progressing well clinically at 10 months postoperatively.
  • Radiographic evidence shows clear visualization of the bone graft margins at 5 months.

Implications:

  • Coralline hydroxyapatite bone graft substitutes offer a viable option for orthopedic applications.
  • Further investigation into coral bone grafts may lead to improved surgical outcomes.
  • The use of coralline hydroxyapatite blocks can facilitate bone defect correction and joint distraction.
