[Infected pseudoarthroses of the tibia shaft. A collective study]. 1980

K Weise, and H Schmelzeisen

A clinical report on 252 cases of infected pseudarthroses of the tibia is given: 72.6% after an open fracture. 218 underwent one stabilising procedure, 59 were stabilised twice to 4 times. In 201 cases stabilisation by external fixation, 45 stabilisations by plate osteosynthesis; 234 sequestrectomies, 280 grafts with autogenous cancellous bone, 10% amputations.
