The treatment of infected pseudarthrosis
Abstract:
Modern tendencies in the treatment of infected pseudarthrosis are discussed and compared with the methods of the recent past. Seventy four cases are analysed in detail. Fifty three were in the tibia, twenty six of which were treated by a standard modern technique consisting of osteomuscular decortication, excision of infected tissues and necrotic bone, external fixation and if necessary the addition of autoplastic cancellous grafts. The main purpose of this study was to analyse these results and assess the validity of this method.
