title: [Corrective osteotomies of the thigh after faulty healing of infected burn wounds].
abstract: The occurrence of burn injuries and fractures of the extremities often necessitates that vital precautions be taken first and the possibility of osseous defective healing be initially accepted. After the vital functions have been stabilized, late corrective procedures become necessary. Two cases of the treatment strategy for femur fractures which healed defectively are reported.
