In 12 patients treated by elevation of the tibial tubercle, bone wax was used to prevent bleeding from the cut surface. Biopsy specimens of the tissues obtained at the time of removal of the screws, five to 13 months after the operation, showed a definite foreign body giant cell reaction. Giant cells endocytosed bone wax from the site. The giant cell response culminated in a marked fibrous reaction.
在12例接受胫骨结节抬高治疗的患者中，使用骨蜡防止切面出血。在术后5至13个月取出螺钉时获取的组织活检标本显示有明确的异物巨细胞反应。巨细胞从该部位吞噬骨蜡。巨细胞反应最终导致明显的纤维反应。
