Surgical treatment of the consequences of fractures of long bones with purulent infection
We have experience in applying different variants of Ilizarov osteosynthesis in the treatment of 158 patients and disabled persons with non-unionized fractures, false joints and defects of long tubular bones complicated by purulent infection. There were 116 men (73.4%) and 42 women (26.6%). The age composition ranged from 16 to 70 years. The majority (more than 60%) were of young working age (20 to 40 years). Open fractures of the tubular bones were previously detected in 148 (93.7%) patients, and closed fractures in 10 (6.3%). The latter patients developed postoperative osteomyelitis after osteosynthesis with various submersible metal fixators performed in rural district hospitals. The duration of the disease from the time of injury was from 5 months to 6 years.
