[Treatment of post-osteomyelitic circular defects in shin bones by the method of compression-distraction osteosynthesis with the use of allogenic bone matrix].

The authors propose to stimulate distraction osteogenesis by means of implanting bone matrix both into the resection area after removing the suppurative necrotic focus and into the region of the osteotomized fragment. The suggested method of treatment of post-osteomyelitic defects of the tibia reduces the duration of the period of treatment 2-3-fold as compared with the commonly accepted terms in compression and distraction osteosynthesis without bone matrix.
