[Early surgical intervention in acute hematogenic osteomyelitis of the long tubular bones in children].

The work generalizes the experience of 57 decompression osteoperforations with the through drainage in acute hematogenic osteomyelitis of long tubular bones in children. The authors believe that this operation as a method of choice in the complex treatment of patients gives comparatively better near and late results, considerably shortens the duration of the disease; practically escaping the chronic stage such children have real possibilities to escape the period of long invalizidation. The early operation in the complex of intensive therapy, to the authors' mind, provides also a considerable economic effect of the treatment.
