REGENERATION OF POST-TRAUMATIC SEGMENTAL BONE DEFECTS IN DISTAL FEMUR BY MASQUELET TECHNIQUE- AN OBSERVATIONAL STUDY
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
BACKGROUND Masquelet technique is a two-staged procedure in the treatment of bone loss. In stage one, an antibiotic-impregnated cement spacer is placed in the bone defects after thorough debridement. This cement spacer induces a foreign body reaction around the bone defect which creates a fibrous biological membrane. Stage two consists of placing bone grafts within the membrane. The biological membrane helps in bone graft integration and bone formation. The aim of the study was to study regeneration of bone in the Post-traumatic bone defect area of distal femur by Masquelet technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS The present observational study was carried out in MGM Government Hospital/KAPV Government Medical College from 2010 to 2016. The study consisted of 40 adult patients with distal femur bone loss, satisfying the inclusion criteria. RESULTS We achieved healing in all our patients. Average time of radiographic bone consolidation was 10.5 months. CONCLUSION From our study, we safely conclude that Masquelet technique is an alternate method in treatment of Post-traumatic bone loss in distal femur with acceptable results.
