BonAlive Clinical Cases Inhibition of bacterial growth Osteostimulation* Bioactive bone bonding *Non-osteoinduction
BonAlive mechanism of action BonAlive composition: 53% SiO 2, 23% Na 2 O, 20% CaO, 4% P 2 O 5 After implantation: 1 hour Release of ions increases ph and osmotic pressure (Na, Ca, P, Si) Inhibits bacterial growth on granule surface 1 day Silica gel layer forms on granule surface CaP precipitates to surface 1 week CaP crystallizes to natural HA Bonds to bone and promotes osteointegration 1 day 1 week 1 hour

Benign bone tumour in the proximal phalanx in a child CASE Patient was a three year old child with a recurrent aneurysmal bone cyst of the proximal phalanx of the index finger. The bone tumour was removed and the defect was grafted with BonAlive and two 2-3 mm pieces of autogenous bone. Follow-up was at one, three, 12 and 24 months post-operatively. Post-op Pre-op 1 month 3 months 12 months 24 months RESULTS At two years, no cavity was observed and the homogenous region resembled normal trabecular bone. The phalanx had grown in length and remodeled to almost normal shape. BonAlive does not disturb the growth of bone in children. Treatment of a recurrent aneurysmal bone cyst with bioactive glass in a child allows for good bone remodelling and growth. Lindfors, Nina C., Bone, 2009;45(2):398-400.
Large aneurysmatic bone tumor cavity in a child Patient: 16-year old male Defect size: 60 cc (2.0-3.15 mm granules) Operation: January 2007, University Hospital of Helsinki Patient history: Cavity filled 1 st time with autograft and a 2 nd time with CaP based synthetic bone graft. In both cases the grafts had resorbed and 3 rd time BonAlive was used for the grafting. Current status: Patient fully healed due to bone growth promotion and slow resorbtion properties of BonAlive.

Chronic osteomyelitis in the distal tibia Patient: 36-year old male Defect size: 10-12 cm (100 cc) BonAlive amount used: 48 cc (2.0-3.15 mm) Operation: March 2008, Turku University Hospital Patient history: Car crash, pilon fracture, fixation with anterior plate. Patient was diagnosed with severe chronic osteomyelitis with extensive pus formation in the distal tibia. Anterior fixation plate removed. Large part of the anterior cortex removed through radical debridement. The defect was filled with BonAlive and autologous bone (50/50). Patient clinical outcome: The soft tissue healed well. Although a significant part of the cortex was removed new cortical bone was formed within 2.5 years. The fusion is stabile and the patient outcome has been up-todate successful.
