  • Application of meshy fascia encapsulating cancellous bone graft in repair of bone defect after limb fractures

    Objective To investigate the effectiveness of meshy fascia encapsulating cancellous bone graft in repair of bone defect after limb fractures. Methods A clinical data of 21 cases of traumatic bone defect after limb fractures, who were treated with meshy fascia encapsulating cancellous bone graft between June 2011 and December 2016, was retrospectively analyzed. There were 13 males and 8 females, aged 14-64 years with an average of 40.1 years. The location of bone defect included humerus in 3 cases, radius in 5 cases, ulna in 4 cases, femur in 2 cases, and tibia in 7 cases. AO classification of primary fractures were type A in 2 cases, type B in 7 cases, and type C in 12 cases. There were 14 cases of open fracture, and 7 cases of closed fracture associated with bone defect. The time from injury to bone defect repair was 5-165 days (mean, 21.3 days). The length of bone defect was 2.5-6.5 cm with an average of 4.5 cm. Results The operation time was 86-130 minutes (mean, 101 minutes). The intraoperative blood loss was 185-647 mL (mean, 316 mL). One case of superficial infection and 2 cases of delayed healing of incision occurred after operation, and no neurovascular injury occurred. All the 21 patients were followed up 12-36 months (mean, 19 months). The clinical healing time was 2.5-7.0 months (mean, 5.4 months); no delayed healing and nonunion occurred, the bony healing rate was 100%. There was no deep infection, infection recurrence, broken of internal fixator, or refracture. At last follow-up, the grading of bony healing were all rated as excellent, and the functional recovery of the affected limb was excellent in 12 cases, good in 7 cases, and fair in 2 cases with an excellent and good rate of 90.5%. Conclusion Meshy fascia encapsulating cancellous bone graft in repair of bone defect after limb fracture is characterized by easy to harvest fascia, simplicity of operation, no adverse reaction, lower cost, and satisfactory results.
