THE USE OF ABSORBABLE SUBSTANCES TO OBLITERATE BONE CAVITIES AND AS HEMOSTATIC AGENTS IN OPERATIVE PROCEDURES ON BONES AND JOINTS

JOSEPH BUCHMAN M.D.1 and JOHN E. BLAIR PH.D.1

1 NEW YORK, N. Y.

1. The use of oxidized gauze or absorbable gelatin as a vehicle for thrombin and penicillin in filling dead spaces or bone cavities appears to be inadvisable, from the authors' limited experience, because of the large proportion of complications interfering with the healing of the surgical wounds by first intention.

2. The use of oxidized gauze or absorbable gelatin with thrombin as hemostatic agents in the presence of troublesome oozing and bleeding is advisable, and at times invaluable, notwithstanding the fact that the final healing of the wound may, in a considerable proportion of instances, be delayed by temporary partial disruption incidental to the evacuation of collections of blood and serum.
