Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a gentamicin-coated tibial nail (PROtect™) in patients needing tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis due to tibial defects.
- It involved a review of seven male patients treated between January 2018 and December 2023, focusing on fracture healing, complications, and quality of life outcomes.
- Results showed that most patients achieved fracture union, though a few experienced complications; overall, PROtect™ was deemed a promising option for enhancing bone healing and reducing infection risks in complex cases.
Introduction: Transplantation with fresh cadaveric osteochondral allograft (FOCA) is frequently used in defects of the femoral condyle and tibial plateau to preserve the knee joint. However, the use of FOCA in bipolar lesions remains controversial in cases with bipolar defects and a history of infection.
Case Report: We present a 21-year-old male patient with a massive post-traumatic osteochondral defect of the lateral compartment of the knee and a history of infection, treated by a two-stage approach.
