title: [Prophylaxis of pyogenic complications in total replacement of large joints].

Surgical interventions were undertaken in those patients presenting with osteoarthrosis deformans, rheumatoid arthritis, for complicated posttraumatic fractures, pathological fractures secondary to an oncological process. Pyo-inflammatory complications which necessitated removal of endoprothesis developed in nine (2.32%) patients. A strict keeping to the system of the purulent complications prophylaxis in total arthroplasty is an important component of a successful management of those patients presenting with grave forms of affections of the great joints.
