    Author: Saglaĭ II.
    Journal: Ortop Travmatol Protez; 1989 Nov; (11):54-7. PubMed ID: 2630988.
    Abstract:
    The authors have analysed the results of the treatment of 68 patients with pyo-osseous complications of the gunshot wounds of the shoulder which had been repeatedly operated at previous stages. The failures were connected with suppurations of the wounds, faults of the surgical technique and the postoperative management of the patient. All the patients were operated repeatedly at two stages: radical necrosequestrotomy, epidermatoplasty and tendoplasty were performed at stage I and bone autografting with immobilization with an plaster bandage were performed at stage II. The results of the treatment were good in 31 patients, satisfactory in 18 patients and not satisfactory in 6 patients. After tendoplasty the results were good in 12 patients and satisfactory in in 6 patients.
