title: [Special methods of examination and their role in the selection of the extent and type of surgical intervention in patients with pelvic osteomyelitis].
abstract: The article analyses the results of radiological and computer methods of examination applied in 117 patients with chronic osteomyelitis of the pelvis to determine the site and activity of the process and choose the most rational surgical approach. The localization of the process is determined by radiography, fistulography (if a fistula exists), scanning of the skeleton, and computer tomography. Scanning of the skeleton makes it possible to determine the activity of the process. The optimal operative approach and volume of operation are chosen by comparing the radiological findings (radio- and fistulography) and the results of computer tomography. The success of surgical treatment of patients with chronic osteomyelitis of the pelvis is determined to a great measure by the informativeness of the results of preoperative examination of the patient. With this in view, the most optimal combinations of the range of modern diagnostic measures should be used more widely.
