Abstrakt: The experience in treatment of 40 patients with osteomyelitis and chondritis of the bones of thoracic wall is presented. 39 patients (of 40) underwent surgery with due regard to an adequate extent of resection within so-called borders of intact tissues. Critical analysis of literature and authors' own experience made it possible to establish strict borders of resection of damaged bones in this disease of thoracic wall frame and to obtain good results of combined treatment in patients over 50 years. Complete removal of chondral tissues and resection of bones within the area of probably normal anatomic formation of the bone, irrespective of the origin of osteomyelitis and chondritis (hematogenous, exogenous), have promoted recovery of the patients. There were no relapses during 1-7 year period.
