Abstract

This study was conducted on 37 infected patients after surgery for internal fixation and external fixation who were treated at Viet Duc Hospital from 8/ 2021 to 8/2022 by using antibiotic-loaded polymethylmethacrylate beads and spacer. Objectives: Evalute the initial result of surgery treatment for infection after fracture fixation using antibiotic-loaded polymethylmethacrylate beads and spacer. Methods: This is a descriptive prospective study. We selected patients according to selection criteria, perform 2-stage surgery, re-examine and evaluate results after surgery 6 months. Results: At six- month posoperative, 1 patient (2.7%) had to re-operate due to recurrent infection, 36 patients (97.3%) had good scar healing, no fistula, no sign of recurrent infection. On X-ray, out of 36 patients, 33 patients (91.7%) have bone union, 2 patients (5.6%) have delayed union and 1 patient (2.7%) has non union, that was required a bone graft surgery. Conclusions: Surgery treatment for infection after fracture fixation using antibiotic- loaded polymethylmethacrylate is safe, effective, with few complications, high cure rate and high bone union rate.
