Abstract
From June 2003 we have elaborated a new procedure consisting in an osteoinductive-antibiotic gel, positioned on the spongiosametal surfaces of the implant. The gel contains five elements: Cancellous bone chips, Platelet-Rich Plasma, Bone marrow, Fibrin glue, Vancomycin and Tobramycin. Blood loss, operative time Hemoglobin drop values and clinical results were collected. Our procedure shows a quickly osteointegration of the implants without septic complications due to the local delivery of antibiotics. The procedure is safe and easy because includes only autologous factors without risks of disease transmission or immune response.
