Use of a biphasic cement bone substitute in the management of metaphyseal fractures.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

In recent years, the increase in utilisation of bone substitutes in the reconstruction of bone defects has been fuelled by donor site complications associated with autologous bone harvesting. However the ability of bone substitute to stimulate bone union while maintaining fracture reduction has been a topic of debate. Cerament Bone Void Filler (CBVF) is a novel biphasic and injectable ceramic bone substitute that has high compressive strength and the ability to promote cancellous bone healing.

Materials and method

This is a retrospective study to evaluate the surgical outcome of utilising CBVF in the treatment of depressed metaphyseal bone fractures over a two year period. The patients were followed up for at least six months after surgery and clinical parameters
