title: [Prognosis of long tubular bone strength changes in surgery of chronic osteomyelitis].
abstract: Mineral bone density (MBD) in osteomyelitic focus and symmetric intact tubular bone was compared in 54 patients. Changes of MBD values were also measured after surgical treatment (bone trepanation or osteonecroectomy with bone plasty). Thus, MBD, and, therefore, bone strength, was mostly higher in pathologic focus then in the healthy bone. Operative treatment showed no negative influence on MBD.
