Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a prospective randomised controlled comparative study comparing bone transport through induced membrane (BTM) and conventional bone transport (BT) in management of bone defects in infected non united fractures of long bones of lower limbs (femur, tibia) as regard clinical, functional outcomes and possible complications.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A prospective randomised controlled study was conducted at Ain shams university hospitals. A total of 30 patients with infected non united fractures of long bones of lower limbs (femur and tibia) were divided randomly into 15 patients treated by bone transport through induced membrane technique (BTM) (Group A) and 15 patients treated by conventional bone transport technique (BT) (Group B)

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

30 patients were included and divided randomly into two equal groups:

* Group (A) will undergo BTM
* Group (B) will undergo BT

Methods:

I. Preoperative evaluation

II. Operative interventions:

A. Pre-operative:

B. Operative interventions

* first step

• resection of infected bone
* Second step:

(A) Group A cement spacer and external fixator were applied then removal of cement spacer and metaphyseal osteotomy done (B)Group B

* external fixator was applied then metaphyseal osteotomy done C. Post-operative
* bone transport was started after latency of 7 days (from osteotomy) at rate of 1mm per day in 4 increments per day (rhythm of 0.25 mm every 6 hours) until reaching docking site.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

bone transport through induced membrane

First stage

1. antibiotic impregnated cement spacer was applied to the bone defect
2. external fixator was applied for 6-8 weeks ϖ Second stage

1.removal of cement spacer done 2.metaphyseal osteotomy done

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

bone transport through induced membrane

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Debridement done followed by external fixator and cement application to be followed by removal of cement (after 6 weeks) and start bone transport

bone transport

1. removal of all hardware
2. resection of infected bone segments
3. external fixator was applied
4. metaphyseal osteotomy done

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

bone transport

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Debridement done then external fixator was applied then bone transport started.
