Unidirectional porous β-tricalcium phosphate (UDPTCP; Affinos®, Kuraray, Tokyo, Japan) has been in clinical use since 2015. Animal studies have confirmed the excellent potential of UDPTCP with regard to bone formation and material absorption. We present the first three clinical cases using UDPTCP as a bone substitute after curettage of benign bone tumors of the hand. All three patients were males, 29-, 30- and 81-years-old, two having a diagnosis of enchondroma and the other, a bone ganglion, with a pathological fracture identified in one case. Over a mean follow-up of 10 months, all patients achieved satisfactory clinical result, with no adverse events of UDPTCP noted. Radiographic evidence of good bone formation and material absorption was observable over the postoperative course. UDPTCP provided satisfactory clinical results, with good biocompatibility and fast resorption characteristics. Therefore, UDPTCP could provide a safe and reliable filling substitute for bone defects following curettage of small bone tumors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
