  • Title: [Soft tissue covers in chronic osteitis].
    Author: Knopp W, Kiztan T, Muhr G, Erbs E.
    Journal: Handchir Mikrochir Plast Chir; 1987 Mar; 19(2):98-103. PubMed ID: 3570084.
    Abstract:
    The treatment of chronic post-traumatic osteomyelitis with soft tissue damage requires debridement followed by plastic surgical soft tissue replacement. 47 patients were treated between the period of 1983 through to 1985 with a combination of extensive sequestrectomy followed by flap cover. In 15 cases a free muscle flap (M. latissimus dorsi) and in 32 cases a pedicled muscle flap (M. gastrocnemius, M. soleus) were employed. A successful outcome was achieved in 40 of the 47 patients.
