[The technic of the autologous transplantation of callous bone (author's transl)].

Primary or secondary grafting with autologous cancellous bone has become a routine procedure combined with osteosynthetic measures. At the Berufsgenossenschaftliche Unfallklinik Frankfurt 422 transplantations of autologous cancellous bone were performed during the last 6 years. The technique of obtaining the cancellous bone from the tibial head became highly standardized.

[Osteosynthesis for infected femoral pseudarthroses using the interlocking nail. 31 case reports (author's transl)].

31 cases of infected pseudarthrosis of the femur were re-osteosynthesized with the interlocking nail. Bony consolidation was obtained in 26 patients, in all cases the chronic osteomyelitic infection subsided with removal of the nail. Pseudarthrosis persisted in 3 cases, after removal of the nail the patients could walk with a walking splint. In one of this group bony consolidation was obtained after repeated interlocking nailing. Persisting pseudarthrosis and infection was the indication for amputation in 2 cases.
