S Popkirov

The author presents 602 patients--436 with haematogenous osteomyelitis and 166 with posttraumatic suppurative osteitis. The clinical material is analysed according to the following criteria: age, localization, morphology, kind of infection, operative methods. The author recommends bone replacement ot the donor area with allogenous cancellous bone. No complications were observed in 285 operations of this kind. The osteoplastic treatment of haematogenous osteomyelitis provides healing 86% and of posttraumatic suppurative osteitis--in 79% of the cases. Thanks to reoperations, this percentage increases to 97% for the haematogenous osteomyelitis and to 98% for posttraumatic purulent osteitis respectively.
