ERADICATION OF CHRONIC OSTEOMYELITIS IN ROMANIA. RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS WITH PRACTICAL APPLICABILITY

An operator intervenes and evacuates the pus from the metaphyseal focus of the joint, after which an instillation system for "washing - aspiration drainage" is applied for 7 days. c) The radiological appearance 30 days after the healing of acute osteomyelitis. d) At the age of 1 year, the nucleus of the femoral head appears, eccentric and with a muriform outline. e) Hip osteoarthroplasty reconstruction through double pelvic osteotomy, acetabuloplasty and autogenous graft, the only reduction method that could ensure centering of the enlarged head and its coverage in anatomical proportion. f) Coxa breva-magna partially remodeled after 1 year and 6 months and the acetabulum ensures good coverage. g) Syntopic study illustrates a right hip joint with normal configuration and the right acetabulum located 1 cm more distally. h and i) Normal gait with more obvious tipping of the right hemi-basin during the support phase of the left pelvic limb, a minor dysfunction that allows him to perform handball. For newborns, infants with severe weight loss, children with severe disease or genetic disorders, MRI scintigraphy highlights osteomyelitis foci or multiple foci.
