title: [Infected, diaphyseal pseudoarthroses of limbs. Therapeutic problems in 17 cases. (Orthopedic-traumatology service of the University Hospital Center of Brazzaville-Congo].
abstract: Seventeen cases of infected pseudarthrosis have been registered between 1987 and 1991 in the Orthopaedic Ward of the University Hospital of Brazzaville (Congo). They are distributed as follows: eleven cases located in the leg, three in the humerus, and three others in the femur. Their analysis was especially concerned with the etiological aspects of the different cases, and with their specific therapeutic strategies. The authors' conclusion points to the urge to take deterrent steps to ward off the awful complications of the disease.
