Objective: To study the clinical effects of antibiotic-impregnated cement on the clinical treatment of traumatic shinbone osteomyelitis.

Methods: A total of 120 patients with traumatic shinbone osteomyelitis admitted in the Department of Traumatology, Chifeng Clinical Hospital, were recruited. They were randomly divided into control group and experimental group according to random attri- bution method (60 cases per group). The control group was given local perfusion antibiotics, while the experimental group received antibiotic-impregnated cement. Joint function activation, trauma recovery, anti-infection indices, and total treatment effects were comprehensively evaluated.

Results: Knee joint activation function in the experimental group was better than that in the control group, and the recovery time was shorter than in the control group (p < 0.05). In addition, trauma infection control was significantly better in the experimen- tal group than in the control group (p < 0.05). There were 57 cases with effective treatment in the experimental group (97 % effec- tiveness), which differed significantly from 45 cases of effective treatment in the control group (75 % effectiveness; p < 0.05).

Conclusion: Antibiotic-impregnated cement is very effective for the clinical treatment of traumatic shinbone osteomyelitis, and deserves clinical promotion.
