[Suppurative pseudarthrosis treated by closed, irrigated corticospongious grafts. New technique derived from Papineau's procedure (author's transl)].
The treatment of suppurative pseudarthrosis, particularly in the leg after extensive tibial resection, remains very difficult and exceedingly slow. In the new technique described--which derives from, and improves upon Papineau's procedure--granular micrografts of cortical and spongious bone tissues are laid under a tightly closed sterile tent, and continuous irrigation and aspiration are applied. In 10 patients treated by this technique highly satisfactory results were obtained, bone consolidation being achieved within 8 months on average.
