[The basic principles of treating patients with chronic osteomyelitis of the long bones]
Abstract:
Experiences with surgical treatment of 269 patients with chronic osteomyelitis of long bones based on the principles of active surgical treatment of purulent wounds were summarized. Certain aspects of surgical treatment of patients with chronic osteomyelitis were revised and supplemented. Different variants of surgical treatment of the osteomyelitis focus were shown depending on the volume and character of the injury and the methods of plastic substitution of defects of the bones and soft tissues. Main principles of antibacterial therapy for chronic osteomyelitis are described.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
