  • Title: [Infected tibial shaft pseudarthroses, treatment and results (author's transl)].
    Author: Schmelzeisen H, Fengler A, Meinhardt U, Renné J, Schauwecker F.
    Journal: Arch Orthop Unfallchir; 1975 Jul 28; 82(4):337-48. PubMed ID: 1191112.
    Abstract:
    In a follow up study of 47 patients with infected pseudarthrosis of tibia therapy and results are declared. The most important matter in therapy is the osteosyntesis with compression of the pseudarthrosis. In the majority of cases externe stabilisation is used; seldom compression plate or medullary nailing is indicated. Such cases require much experience in the therapy of bone infection, although if the stabilisation with the fibula is tryed. Flush drainage, suction drainage, antibiotic therapy and cancellous bone grafting are necessary for localisation and decreasing of infection and for induction and acceleration of bone union. In some cases amutation can't be prevented. With correct judgement and consequent treatment in the majority of cases bone union will be obtained.
