Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Studies showed that platelet-rich plasma + bone transplantation for repair of bone defects not only can accelerate new bone formation, but also increase bone density.

OBJECTIVE: To observe autologous platelet-rich plasma and autologous bone graft for treatment of comminuted fractures, and the efficacy.
METHODS: This was a clinical prospective randomized controlled study. A total of 42 patients with limb comminuted fracture and bone defects were enrolled and randomly assigned to two groups. In the experimental group, 20 patients received treatment with autologous platelet-rich plasma and mixture of autologous ilium and cancellous bone. In the control group, 22 patients underwent plate, screw or intramedullary nail fixation. At 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery, X-ray examination was conducted. Healing conditions, healing speed and functional recovery were compared between the experimental and control groups.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The time of bone healing was respectively 12 weeks in the experimental group and 18 weeks in the control group on average, showing significant differences. There were two cases of plate breakage, one case of nonunion reoperation, three cases of delayed fracture healing in the control group. No autologous blood transfusion or other complications appeared in the experimental group. Results suggested that autologous platelet-rich plasma and autologous bone graft for comminuted fractures can facilitate and accelerate bone healing.
