ABSTRACT
Introduction: bone defects are defined as the lack of a bone
segment; tumor and traumatic etiology represent the main
cause in pediatric patients. Allografts continue to be the most
used treatment, however there are bioactive molecules that
promise lower rates of infection, rejection or pseudoarthrosis.
Objective: to evaluate the osseointegration of allografts
and bioactive bone substitutes (SOB) in the management
of pediatric bone defects.
Material and methods: a
descriptive, retrospective study was carried out analyzing
59 patients with bone defects treated with the placement of
allograft or bioactive glass from January 1, 2013 to January
1, 2024, measuring osseointegration based on the ISOLS
(International Symposium on Limb Salvage) scale at 6 months
post-surgery.
Results: 59 patients were included, 59% male
vs 41% female, mean age of 12.92 years. Etiology 68%
tumor, 20% pseudoarthrosis, 12% traumatic. Predominantly
affecting tibia (36%) and femur (31%), using allografts (76.7%)
and SOB (24%), ISOLS excellent (78%) or good (12%), the
association between type of graft and the resulting ISOLS
did not show a statistically significant difference (p = 0.666).
Conclusion: both types of grafts promise favorable results,
however the difference in the number of patients treated with
allografts vs SOB does not allow us to establish a therapeutic
advantage of one over the other.
