Use of Collapan for Plasty of Osteomyelitis Bone Defects

Use of biocomposed material Collapan (Company «Intermedapatit», Russia) for the filling of bone defects after sequestrectomy was evaluated in 92 patients with chronic osteomyelitis of different localization. In 76 patients surgical wounds healed by first intention, in 16 patients — by second intention. Four patients had recurrence of purulent process in the term from 4 to 18 months after operation. Morphologic and histologic study of tissue specimens obtained during reoperation showed that inserted collapan induced antibacterial background, served as the matrix of newly forming bone tissue and activated the osteogenesis.
