  • Title: [Medium term results of treatment of post-traumatic osteitis and osteomyelitis with gentamycin-PMMA minichains].
    Author: Quell M, Vécsei V.
    Journal: Aktuelle Traumatol; 1986 Aug; 16(4):158-60. PubMed ID: 2876600.
    Abstract:
    In 10 cases of posttraumatic osteitis or osteomyelitis gentamicin-PMMA minichains have been used for treatment after radical local debridement. In 8 cases infection could be controlled completely by this regimen, one case needed adjuvant systemic antibiotic treatment and only one case with proved primarily gentamicin-resistant beta-haemolytic-streptococcus could be controlled after removal of PMMA-minichain by systemic antibiotic treatment. 3 to 9 months after therapy all infections were still under control.
