Aplicación de la hidroxiapatita porosa coralina？ HAP-200 con antibióticos en la osteomielitis de la tibia

despite the current surgical treatment and the applications of wide-spectrum antibiotics in patients presenting with acute osteomyelitis from the at distance first septic processes or by direct inoculation, there is a percentage of patients evolving to chronic stage. chronic osteomyelitis represent approximately the 4,2% of sequalae of tibia exposed fractures and staphylococcus aureus is the more frequent isolated germ. two cases are presented effectively treated by curettage of the lesion and filled with hao-200 ？ coralline porous hydroxyapatite impregnated with gentamicin and a antibiotic systemic application. type os lesion was assessed as well as the analytical and radiologic features. the aim of present paper was to demonstrate the usefulness of this biomaterial in tibia septic surgery.
