Abstract Aim The successful treatment and eradication of bone infection requires a multifaceted approach and may recur even after excision if resultant bone void is not managed effectively. This paper aims to review the clinical effectiveness of antibiotic-impregnated bone void filler and current empirical antibiotic guidelines. Method We report a retrospective study of 18 patients with chronic osteomyelitis following injury or surgery managed via Ilizarov Ring Fixator (IRF). All patients were managed by IRF stabilisation procedures with debridement, microbiological sampling, and bone void filling with antibiotic-impregnated biocomposite material, in addition to culture-specific systemic antimicrobial therapy. Results Patients were followed up for a mean of 15.9 months. Infection was eradicated in 94.1% of patients in a grossly comorbid demographic. Comorbidities associated with increased risk of osteomyelitis were noted in 72.2% of patients. Anaerobic bacteria were identified in culture for four (22.2%) of the 18 patients. Conclusions We detected a higher than suspected growth of anaerobes in our samples, suggesting the need for metronidazole in empirical antibiotic treatment. This study would suggest that the use of STIMULAN® may be preferable in this National Health Service from a cost-effect perspective, as our results are comparable to those using other bone void fillers.

Aim: The aim of this article is to report on the safety and long-term efficacy of Cerament® BoneVoid Filler bone substitute for repairing craniofacial bone defects. Post-traumatic cranioplasty is a complex and challenging procedure for all maxillo-craniofacial surgeons and neurosurgeons, especially when repairing large areas. The standard criterion for repairing small cranial defects is the use autogenous bone from the iliac crest or split calvarial grafts. Autogenous grafts may result in donor-site morbidity, increased surgical time, reabsorption, blood loss, and longer recovery time . Alloplastic materials used for bone repair, such as methyl methacrylate, hydroxyapatite, titanium, or porous polyethylene, are expected to have optimal properties, including easy adaptation, biocompatibility, ingrowth of new tissue, stability of shape, and low rate of reabsorption. A cranial implant should be easily shaped and positioned, allowing easy tissue growth. In very wide cranium defects the new technology is a custom made cranial implant constructed three-dimensionally with different types of materials. However, this procedure is very expensive with various infection rates depending on the kind of material used and on the chemicophysical composition of the implant. Methods: The authors report the case of a 50-year-old man with a severe deformity of the forehead-supra orbital area as a result of a previous complex fronto-facial trauma treated in an emergency Unit. Secondary correction and reconstruction of the residual deformities were performed by using Cerament® Bone Void Filler, an alloplastic biphasic material, composed of 40% hydroxyapatite, 60% calcium sulfate and the radio-contrast agent iohexol. The unique ratio of hydroxyapatite and calcium sulfate is designed to enable Cerament to resorb at the same rate that bone forms. Calcium sulfate acts as a resorbable carrier for hydroxyapatite which is highly osteoconductive, promoting bone ingrowth.It seems to be a promising bone graft substitute in the management of bony irregularities in the fronto-orbital area. Conclusion: The patient was first hospitalized as the result of a serious craniofacial trauma. One year after the first emergency cranio-orbital reconstructive operation, a marked deformity of the frontal region appeared with a “grid effect” due to the inadequate plate-bony fixation of the fractures applied during the first bony recomposition and because it was not as rigid as it should have been . A secondary surgery for deformity correction was performed. The hardware was totally removed and the bony deformity smoothed, reshaped, covered and filled using Cerament® Bone Void Filler, a biomaterial. The patient recovered with a satisfactory cranium-forehead shape, no complications, and complete disappearance of a frowning look of the fronto-orbital region. Recently, increased use of bone substitutes in the reconstruction of bone defects has been fuelled by donor site complications associated with autologous bone harvesting. Cerament® BoneVoid Filler is a biphasic and injectable bone substitute that has a highly compressive strength and the ability to promote cancellous bone healing

The use of local antibiotics from a biodegradable implant for chronic osteomyelitis is an attractive alternative. The implant delivers high tissue levels, obliterates dead space, aids bone repair and does not need to be removed. The purpose of this paper is to review our early clinical experience with custom-made calcium sulfate (Osteoset bone void filler) antibiotic-impregnated implants.
