We present a challenging case of imminent metallic implant extrusion in a Paralympic athlete managed with a single-stage procedure using 'Integra' dermal substitute. The patient had hereditary spastic paraparesis, for which a baclofen pump delivering intrathecal medication was vital in the management of his condition. The device had been most recently implanted into the thigh after previous complications. Integra provided robust soft-tissue coverage over the implanted baclofen pump in the thigh. Different operative management strategies were considered but the use of Integra was felt to offer the least morbidity and a quick recovery. The patient was able to successfully compete in a Paralympic canoeing qualifying event the week following surgery and achieve medal success. To the authors' knowledge, this is first case in which Integra has been used in such circumstances.
我们展示了一例具有挑战性的病例,一名残奥会运动员面临金属植入物即将挤出的情况,通过使用 “Integra” 真皮替代物的单阶段手术进行处理。该患者患有遗传性痉挛性截瘫,对于他的病情管理而言,输送鞘内药物的巴氯芬泵至关重要。该装置在先前出现并发症后最近植入大腿。Integra为大腿中植入的巴氯芬泵提供了强大的软组织覆盖。考虑了不同的手术管理策略,但使用Integra被认为发病率最低且恢复迅速。患者在手术后一周能够成功参加残奥会皮划艇资格赛并获得奖牌。据作者所知,这是Integra在这种情况下首次被使用的病例。
