[Medium term results of treatment of post-traumatic osteitis and osteomyelitis with gentamycin-PMMA minichains]. 1986

M Quell, and V Vécsei

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.
