Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Therapeutic effects of traditional debridement and bone graft for tibial defect were obvious, but this method has a certain limitation in large bone defect.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the treatment therapy and serum levels of inflammatory factors in patients with tibia bone defect treated by Ilizarov bone transport.
METHODS: Seventy-eight patients with tibia bone defect were selected and randomized into observation group (n=40, Ilizarov bone transport) and control group (n=38, unilateral external fixator). The total effective rate of iconography was measured by radiography at postoperative 6 months. The clinical effect was measured by paley evaluation criterion. The incidence of complications was detected by 12-month follow-up. The serum levels of C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor-α and nuclear factor-κB were measured by ELISA.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The difference was significant in the iconography effect between two groups at 6 months postoperatively (P < 0.05), total effective rate of iconography and excellent and good rate in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). At postoperative 12 months, the serum levels of C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor-α and nuclear factor-κB as well as incidence of complications in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). To conclude, Ilizarov bone transport is more effective compared with traditional remedies in tibia bone defect, and the incidence of complications is lower. It has a certain inhibitory effect on inflammatory factors.
