title: [Soft tissue covers in chronic osteitis].
abstract: The treatment of chronic post-traumatic osteomyelitis with soft tissue damage requires debridement followed by plastic surgical soft tissue replacement. 47 patients were treated between the period of 1983 through to 1985 with a combination of extensive sequestrectomy followed by flap cover. In 15 cases a free muscle flap (M. latissimus dorsi) and in 32 cases a pedicled muscle flap (M. gastrocnemius, M. soleus) were employed. A successful outcome was achieved in 40 of the 47 patients.
