Fibrin Sealants in Orthopaedic Surgery

Article Preview

Abstract:

Due to its considerable systemic impact, several local and general methods to control surgical ( intra/perioperative) bleeding have been developed, with particular characteristics adapted to each type of surgery. In orthopaedic procedures, elective or urgent, bleeding is to be seriously considered , since usually both bones and soft tissues are injured or cut, so adapted haemostatic means have to be used. This issue is of particular importance especially when very small vessels are involved, and especially on large surfaces, since ligation or cauterization are useless in these situations. An effective tool in these circumstances is the group of fibrin sealants, which can stop diffuse bleeding on surfaces when produced by very small vessels. The authors present their clinical experience with fibrin sealants, underlining the indications and the limits of the method.
