Abstract
Despite advances in medical science, osteomyelitis treatment results remain unsatisfactory due to the high frequency of amputations (10%) and disability (42%). Purpose of this study — to improve treatment results in patients with bone fractures complicated with posttraumatic osteomyelitis. There have been developed methods of treatment aimed at suppuration interruption. To justify them, an experimental study was carried out on 9 shins of 5 corpses in order to sample donor areas for perfused muscle grafts. The results of surgical treatment were assessed in 53 patients after necr-, sequestrectomy, transosseous apparatus fixation, as well as transplantation of perfused muscle grafts. Fracture healing and relief of osteomyelitis occurred in 52 patients. The developed methods of surgical treatment of fractures complicated with post-traumatic osteomyelitis proved to be effective.
