title: [Psychosocial problems in patients with chronic osteomyelitis].
abstract: 52 patients suffering from a chronical bone infection were followed up with a special interest in psychosocial problems. In all cases psychosocial disturbances of different importance were evaluated. Possible causes have to be seen in long time of hospitalisation (average = 304 days), and apparent inadequate enlightenment of patients and in functionally and cosmetically insufficiencies. Conclusions are shown for the management in treatment of chronical bone infections.
