    Author: Kovalenko DG, Savchenko AV, Milovanova EM.
    Journal: Vestn Khir Im I I Grek; 1978 Mar; 120(3):89-93. PubMed ID: 349840.
    Abstract:
    A system of the radical reconstructive surgery for hematogenic osteomyelitis of the spine is described. 47 patients were operated upon; among them there were 16 children. A partial rejection of the bone graft was found in one patient. Repeated necrectomies for the progress of the local process were carried out upon 2 patients. One patient died in the late postoperative period. The radical reconstructive operations cure the disease and favour the recovery of the patients' working capacity.
