[Papineau's technique: one possibility to treat osseous infection--a review of 35 cases (author's transl)].
Amongst techniques recently proposed to treat osseous infections, Papineau's technique is one of the most frequently utilized. Success is certain if operating conditions and procedures are strictly respected. The first requirement is to excise as largely as necessary infected and necrotized tissues. Papineau's technique is particularly suitable to treat superficial bones, as tibia, in which the loss of tissue resulting of the excision are easily filled up with pieces cut off from other bones. This technique has a low social cost and may be carried out without an associated antibiotherapy and whatever germ is responsible. For these reasons, Papineau's method has a great value in the treatment of osseous infection in tropical environment.
