Brief Summary

Masquelet's induced membrane technique is a two-stage reconstructive surgery for severe bone fractures commonly used by military orthopedists. The particularity of this technique relies on the synthesis of a biological membrane induced by the transient implantation of a surgical cement (= 1st stage surgery). The presence of the induced membrane in the reconstruction space defines a microenvironment or "biological chamber" favourable to osteogenesis, positively influencing the repair of the lesion after implantation of an autologous bone graft (= 2nd stage of surgery). In view of the excellent clinical results obtained with this procedure, the Masquelet technique has gradually become a reference treatment in the field of orthopedic and trauma surgery. However, orthopedic surgeons sometimes observe failures in bone consolidation. To our knowledge, the role played by induced membrane in these therapeutic failures has never been studied.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Histological profile of induced membrane fragments

    Presence of abnormalities in the organization of connective fibers. The profile of induced membrane fragments will be compared between patients who respond and patients who do not respond to the induced membrane technique.

    Through study completion, an average of 6,5 years

  • Cellular profile of induced membrane fragments

    Presence of mesenchymal stromal cells, ability of these cells to differentiate into osteoblasts, presence of other cell types (such as adipocytes and osteoclasts). The profile of induced membrane fragments will be compared between patients who respond and patients who do not respond to the induced membrane technique.

    Through study completion, an average of 6,5 years

  • Secretory profile of induced membrane fragments

    Determination of proteins secreted by the induced membrane fragments by mass spectrometry or by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The profile of induced membrane fragments will be compared between patients who respond and patients who do not respond to the induced membrane technique.

    Through study completion, an average of 6,5 years

  • Gene expression profile of induced membrane fragments

    Expression of several genes of interest related to angiogenesis, mesenchymal stromal cells mobilization, bone formation or resorption and extracellular matrix remodeling. The profile of induced membrane fragments will be compared between patients who respond and patients who do not respond to the induced membrane technique.

    Through study completion, an average of 6,5 years

Interventions

A blood sample will be collected at enrollment.

The following biological samples will be collected during the first surgery: * 1 blood sample * 3 fragments of induced membrane * 1 fragment of periosteum

The pieces of polymethylmethacrylate surgical cement will be collected during the second surgery.

A radiological examination and a functional exploration will be performed 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months after the first surgery
