ABSTRACT

One of the synthetic materials that have been developed for bony regeneration is the coralline (pro-osteon 500) that has similar properties to the spongial bone, it is biocompatible and bone-conductive, having an osteo-integration index of 55% measured hystometrically. The Garacoll is a sponge of collagen that has demonstrated to be effective as preventive of infections based on a system of local liberation of gentamicin. So much the pro-osteon 500 and the combination of collagen with gentamicin were used in three patients, the first of them with atrophic pseudoarthrosis, the second with bony loss because of fracture and the last one with poor bone quality. It was observed a clinical and radiological integration of the coralline and the Garacoll. We did a cost-benefit analysis and we present the results.
