title: [Trauma and carcinoma--cause and corollary of osteomyelitis (author's transl)].
abstract: The fact that the hematogenic osteomyelitis can be cured, if a treatment with antibiotics is done early, confines the very difficult question about the correlation between trauma and hematogenous osteomyelitis to exceptional cases. Under certain conditions which have to be described in a more precise way, the trauma sometimes takes the form of an activating partial factor among the variety of causes of the hematogenous osteomyelitis, but is never the only producing cause. Fistulous chronic osteomyelitites are subject to a malignant degeneration at a specified frequency of up to 0.5%. Since an early diagnosis can seldom be made at an intra-osseus carcinoma localization, the demand for prophylactic measures is justified.
