Effect of calcium sulfate on promoting natural healing of docking sites during bone transport

Objective: To observe clinical effect of calcium sulfate on promoting natural healing of docking sites during bone transport.Methods: A retrospective study was performed on the patients with posttraumatic chronic osteomyelitis treated by bone transport and calcium sulfate implantation from January 2013 to January 2018. There were 23 males and 4 females,aged from 20 to 61 years old with an average of (44.30±10.00) years,the courses of disease ranged from 3 to 86 months with an average of(13.26±16.47) months. Sixteen patients with posttraumatic chronic osteomyelitis were caused by internal fixation of closed fractures,and 11 patients were caused by open fractures. The length of bone defects after debridement ranged from 4 to 14 cm with an average of(9.11±2.57) cm. Postoperative complications,natural healing rate of the docking sites,external fixation index were observed,Checketts & Otterburn pin-tract infection classification was used to evaluate pin-tract infection,and Paley evaluation criteria was used to evaluate bone and function results.Results: Twenty-seven patients were followed up from 26 to 41 months with an average of (31.32±3.37) months. It did not happened skin embedded between bone stumps in all patients. All patients obtained bone union at (17.78±5.43) months after operation.Among them,25 patients healed naturally in the docking sites,2 patients with poor compliance healed after debridement and bone grafting in the docking sites. One patient occurred equines deformity,and no re-fracture or recurrence of infection occurred. According to Checketts & Otterburn pin tract infection classification,22 patients (41 pin tracts)occurred pin-tract infection with varying degrees. The average external fixation index was (2.02±0.24) months/cm(ranged from 1.6 to 2.4 months/cm). According to Paley evaluation criteria,bony results showed 21 patients obtained excellent results,5 good,and 1 moderate;functional results showed 19 patients got excellent results,7 good,and 1 moderate.Conclusion: During bone transport,the implantation of calcium sulfate on the bone defect areas could prevent skin embedding between the bone stumps,benefit for the natural healing of the docking sites,and could avoid the second-stage debridement and bone grafting for most patients. However,it should be noted that compliance needs to be increased.
