[The treatment of chronic haematogenous osteomyelitis (author's transl)].
The authors have operated on 106 cases of chronic haematogenous osteomyelitis. On 83 occasions the surgical procedure was on the bone itself and in 23 only on the soft tissues. After a one-stage bone drilling with sequestrectomy and saucerisation the results wee satisfactory in 60 p. 100 of cases. Healing was achieved in 93 p. 100 of cases after a second, third or fourth surgical procedure. An analysis of the results has led to the following conclusion; the prognosis is better in girls, in the humerus, when the onset of the disease was subacute or when it had been present for less than 1 year.
