Bone wax is commonly used in orthopedic procedures for the hemostatic control of cancellous bone bleeding. Herein, ordinary bone wax was used to stop bleeding intraoperatively at the site of a peroneal tubercle resection. Five months postoperatively, a symptomatic retrofibular mass was removed. Gross examination showed severe peroneal tendon destruction associated with the mass. Microscopic examination diagnosed a bone wax granuloma. To our knowledge, this is the first case of significant tendon and nerve damage resulting from a bone wax foreign-body granuloma.
骨蜡常用于骨科手术中控制松质骨出血的止血。在此，普通骨蜡被用于在腓骨结节切除部位术中止血。术后五个月，切除了一个有症状的腓骨后肿块。大体检查显示该肿块伴有严重的腓骨肌腱破坏。显微镜检查诊断为骨蜡肉芽肿。据我们所知，这是首例因骨蜡异物肉芽肿导致严重肌腱和神经损伤的病例。
