Summary:

  • S53P4 bioactive glass enables one-stage surgery in chronic osteomyelitis treatment
  • S53P4 bioactive glass is a potent biomaterial in chronic osteomyelitis treatment to encounter the antibiotic resistance problem.
  • One-stage treatment with S53P4 bioactive glass is highly clinical and cost-effective compared to traditional two-stage surgery with antibiotic-loaded PMMA beads.
  • S53P4 bioactive glass is not a “get-out-of-jail-card” for bad debridement!
  • Technical note: always keep cortical windows long and narrow, broad windows increase risk for iatrogenic fracture.
