title: [Personal experiences with the application of septopal chains in the treatment of bacterial arthritis and osteomyelitis].
abstract: Follow-up of 74 patients with bacterial arthritis and osteomyelitis are conducted in order to prove the effect of the application of Gentamycin-PMMA-chains (20 infections after implants of hip joint arthroplastic, 11 nonspecific coxitis, 10 gonitis and 33 osteomyelitis). It is necessary to recognize the infection in the very early stage its course and an immidiate and radical surgical intervention. The application of Gentamycin-PMMA-chains is a valuable supplement for treatment of bacterial arthritis and osteomyelitis.
