[Bone homoplasty in treatment of chronic hematogenic osteomyelitis in children].

The authors report their experience with 44 homoplasties in chronic hematogenous osteomyelitis in 42 patients on definite indications. Positive results were obtained in 28 operations. In 15 patients homografts were removed, but in 7 cases they showed an adequate functioning ultimately. In 3 observations there was a recurrence of the pathological process. Thirteen patients are still under treatment. It is believed that osteohomoplasty used on proper indications for chronic hematogenous osteomyelitis is a largely warranted and perspective measure.
