[Surgical treatment of chronic osteomyelitis as radical surgical treatment of a suppurative-necrotic wound].

From 1977 each operation for chronic posttraumatic osteomyelitis was considered as a radical surgical intervention performed for the first time by the type of primary surgical treatment of the wound. Such an approach required a radical dissection of necrotic and all non-viable tissues in the focus of lesion. The method of radical surgical treatment of pyo-necrotic wounds in combination with modern means of the conservative therapy allowed 236 out of 486 patients to regain their labour ability.
