title: [Stabilization of infected fractures and pseudarthroses (author's transl)].
abstract: A procedure following the principles of modern septic bone surgery permits the prospect of bone healing in infected fractures and pseudarthroses, even in cases which at first seem hopeless. In spite of primarily atypical conditions, an improvised procedure ought to be avoided as a rule. The possibilities of a stable fixation are indicated with reference to some exemplary cases. At the same time, the need for autologous spongiosaplasty in the treatment of infected fractures and pseudarthroses is pointed out.
