INFECTIONS
Complex fracture – osteitis around pins
Video V61_7
Infection following subcutaneous wound
a,b. Open tibial fracture, plate fixation (internally placed) – intraoperative problems (empty holes)
c. 4 mths postop: infection, plate removal, sequestred tibial fragment, incipient periosteal callus
d. 10 months: complete sequestration of the tibial fragment
e. Debridment, external fixation, cancellous bone graft (secondary procedure)
f. 16 mths: total weight bearing
g. 24 mths: consolidation (discrete varus)
Chronic osteitis classification (Cierny & Mader)
Type I.
Medular osteitis
Type II.
Superficial osteitis in external cortical
layer, subcutaneous and skin
tissues.
Infection = cortical fragment (S) and
granulation tissue
Type III.
Localized osteitis involving the whole
bone and adjacent medullary canal
(pin or plate infection)
Type IV.
Diffuse osteitis involving the whole bone
(pandyaphisitis) leading to extensive
devitalization
CT analisys of the fallen bone fragment
a. Infected pseudarthrosis with fallen fragment (1) and new periosteal bone (2)
b. Debridment, external fixation and 5 mm distraction
c. Cortical removal (leaving the pieces attached to adjacent muscles) and cancellous graft
d. At 6 wks: interlacing between cortical bone and and nude laminas
e. Compression at 12 wks induces graft remodeling and callus formation
Bone segmental transport with a tubular system
a.
• Discrete peroneal shortening
• Infected pseudarthrosis area removal
• Corticotomie proximală
Distraction – 1 mm / day
b.
1. Elongation (4) compensates tibial shortening
+ removed fragment
