[Osteomyelitis after osteosynthesis].

Abstract

In reparative surgery, and particularly reosteo-synthesis, latent or apathogenic germ invasion of "old" wounds must always be reckoned with. Antiinfectious measures, which must be pursued untiringly, are to be placed beside equivalent surgical measures which should go beyond mere operative care of traumatic tissue damage.

[Improved interpretation of intra-operative myelography in dorsal spinal instrumentation].

Intraoperative assessment of the spinal canal during dorsal instrumentation for vertebral fractures which narrow the canal is facilitated by myelography. However, the flow of contrast medium around a displaced fragment may result in an erroneous interpretation of canal patency. By performing myelography prior to instrumentation and reduction of the fracture, a chance in myelography-findings after reduction can clearly be caused only by successful repositioning of the displaced fragment. The possibility of an incorrect interpretation of the investigation can thus be reduced.
