Use of a formwork in the induced membrane technique: Relevance and technical note

J Pauchot et al. Hand Surg Rehabil. 2016 Jun.

Abstract

The induced membrane technique is used for bone reconstruction. It is based on the osteoinductive properties of a membrane induced by the insertion of a PMMA cement spacer. We will describe a simple, cost-effective method in which the body of a syringe is used to facilitate the cement introduction, allow insertion of a regular spacer, contain the cement volume in the extension of the diaphysis and protect the underlying tissues from the exothermic reaction during PMMA polymerisation.

Keywords: Bone; Membrane; Orthopedic procedures; Os; Seringue; Syringe; Techniques orthopédiques.
