Orthobiologics Leader Presents Long-Term Insights from New Groundbreaking Oxford University Patient Study
TAMPA, Fla., Oct. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- This week, BONESUPPORT, an emerging leader in orthobiologics, is attending the Orthopedic Trauma Association (OTA) annual meeting in Tampa, Florida. OTA is bringing together more than 400 accomplished orthopedic trauma surgeon presenters/moderators/authors who are sharing their expertise and experience, including delivering cutting-edge research findings and unique multi-national treatment perspectives. During the conference, BONESUPPORT is sharing insights from a new study on the long-term effectiveness of its CERAMENT® G technology, the first and only injectable combination antibiotic bone graft substitute that recently received market authorization from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Conducted at Oxford University Hospitals, the significant study followed 100 consecutive patients and found that with the use of CERAMENT G, 94% were infection free at a mean follow-up of six years. It also showed a 3% fracture rate with no further pathologic fractures beyond the first year after surgery.
"This study is completely unique, as it is the first time a comprehensive analysis was completed with such a strict protocol - and the results are powerful," said Emil Billbaeck, CEO of BONESUPPORT. "This study showcases the efficacy of our technology for reducing infection and provides another solid proof point of the significant difference our bone remodeling capabilities make for patients and clinicians alike."
No other bone graft company has invested in such sophisticated research as BONESUPPORT
