title: [Chronic osteomyelitis of the ilium after autologous bone harvesting in Albers-Schonberg osteopetrosis. A case report].
abstract: We report the treatment of chronic osteomyelitis of the iliac wing after autologous bone harvesting in a 17-year old boy with osteopetrosis. A partial resection of the iliac wing was performed followed by systemic antibiotic treatment. The wound healing was without complications. We consider autologous bone harvesting in patients with osteopetrosis to be a critical procedure due to the higher risk of infection.
