| Popis: | 1. One hundred and one cases of cancellous chip bone grafting operations for filling of infected bone defects are reviewed. 2. Short-term follow-up showed primary or delayed primary healing in 87 per cent of the cases. 3. Observation after five years revealed a recurrence rate of 20 per cent. The recurrences were successfully overcome by minor procedures except in five patients, who suffer from repeated flare-ups of infection. 4. At the present time, 91 per cent of the lesions are satisfactorily healed with a partial or complete bone graft intact. There have been ten failures. 5. The criteria for successful cancellous chip bone grafting of osteomyelitic cavities are discussed. |
