Analysis of the application of different bone grafting procedures in patients with intra-articular fractures
From 2008 to 2014, 298 patients with traumatic cancellous bone were treated in N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute for Emergency Medicine of Moscow Healthcare Department. The bone graft substitutes used were an autograft from the iliac crest, allogenic grafts (non-demineralized cancellous bone, collagen type 1 sponge with bone chips, combined perforated non-dematerialized cancellous bone with collagen type 1 sponge).Long-term outcomes after allografting did not differ from the outcomes of the treatment with the iliac crest autograft. The allograft of non-demineralized cancellous bone has long-lasting mechanical strength, which in combination with osteosynthesis provides a stable fixation, and early weight bearing. Despite a lower mechanical strength, the collagen type 1 sponge with bone chips has a more pronounced osteoconductive effect. We have created and applied a combined perforated non-demineralized cancellous bone with collagen type 1 sponge that has good mechanical properties and a pronounced osteoconductive effect.
