The authors have made an evaluation of the results obtained in orthopaedic surgery and traumatology after a four year practice at the Korhogo hospital (Cote d'Ivoire). They analyse the peculiar conditions bond to the pathology, climate, environment, technical level. The incidence of post operative sepsis was 2.8 per cent, comparable to european statistics. Bed sores were exceptional, the general rate of nonunions was 2.9 per cent. The functional results were hardly analysable. However they seemed to be rather satisfactory despite the lack of post operative rehabilitation. It is concluded that an orthopaedic and traumatologic practice can be valuably conducted in Africa even far from the main centers, provided a rigorous organisation.
作者对在科霍戈医院（科特迪瓦）开展四年的骨科手术和创伤学实践所取得的结果进行了评估。他们分析了与病理、气候、环境、技术水平相关的特殊情况。术后败血症的发生率为2.8%，与欧洲统计数据相当。褥疮情况罕见，骨不连的总体发生率为2.9%。功能结果难以分析。然而，尽管缺乏术后康复，结果似乎相当令人满意。结论是，只要组织严谨，即使远离主要医疗中心，在非洲也能够有效地开展骨科和创伤学实践。
