title: [Results of treatment of infected osteosynthesis cases].
abstract: At the author's Department 70 infected osteosyntheses were treated. The preliminaries of infection were in 48 cases open, and in 22 cases closed fractures. The original stabilisation was performed in 48 injuried with plates, in 12 cases with intramedullary nails and in 10 other patients with various methods. In 12 cases healing of the infection was reached in a short time. In 58 cases the infection became chronic. In 34 cases the fractures healed in spite of persistant infection, in 24 cases infected pseudarthrosis developed. To reach healing or the definite state frequently more operations were needed. Finally it succeeded to heal both the infection and the fracture in 62 patients. Fistula, resistant to treatment remained in 7 patients.
