[Osteitis. Infections of the locomotive system].
Infections of the locomotive system appear in many different forms such as acute inflammation of joints or bone following injury or surgical or chronic processes, often lasting for years. They demand an exact treatment plan not only to remove necrotic tissue but also for reconstruction of defects. A special problem is infection following alloplastic reconstruction of joints or spine. Multiple surgical procedures are required to hinder reinfection, restore function, and assure acceptable patient quality of life.
