[X-ray diagnosis for chronic osteomyelitis (author's transl)]. 1977

G Liess, and G Wesirow, and H Leyda

The basic programme of X-ray diagnosis consists of pictures in the a-p and lateral position in comparison with the healthy side. Tomography and toposcintigraphy give further information and can be completed by fistulography. Complementary information is possible by the use of ultrasonography.
