OBJECTIVES: Septic arthritis and osteomyelitis are serious infections. Several treatment methods for the small joints and bones of the hands have been reported. We hypothesized that antibiotic-impregnated cement spacers could be useful for purulent finger osteomyelitis with bone and joint destruction.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Seven patients with finger osteomyelitis with bone and joint destruction were treated using vancomycin (VCM)-impregnated cement spacers. During the first surgery, a cement spacer was placed in the space created after debridement, maintaining finger length. Intraoperative specimens were tested for bacterial growth. Systemic antibiotic treatment was administered. A second surgery was performed 6-8 weeks after the first. After spacer removal, reconstruction surgeries were performed: arthrodesis using the Masquelet technique (n = 5), vascularized bone grafting (n = 1), and silicone implant arthroplasty (n = 1). We assessed the pathogenic bacteria, duration of antibiotic treatment, infection control, time to bone union, pain on visual analogue scale (VAS) (0 - 100), total active motion (TAM) of the affected fingers, and grip strength.
RESULTS: The pathogenic bacteria were methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and unknown in 3, 3, and 1 patients, respectively. Mean duration of antibiotic treatment was 6.4 weeks. In all patients, infection resolved without recurrence. One patient underwent joint arthroplasty; otherwise, bone union was achieved in 6 patients. Mean VAS score for pain was 0.9. Mean TAM was 147° for the index and middle fingers and 50° for the thumb. Mean grip strength was 86.4% of that of the unaffected side.
CONCLUSION: VCM-impregnated cement spacers could be useful for finger osteomyelitis, facilitating effective infection control and the maintenance of finger length, even in severe conditions.
