Abstract
The authors present a retrospective study of 66 infected cases in their series of limb salvage surgery performed from January 84 to August 92. Special emphasis was given to the alternative techniques of treatment in infection. In 85% of the cases healing was achieved, however removal of the implant and amputation are still frequent occurrences. Time to recovery is very demanding. Les auteurs présentent une étude rétrospective de 66 infections survenues dans le traitment conservateur des tumeurs osseuses des membres de janvier 1984 à août 1992. Le but a été de discuter les possibilitées particulières de traitement de l’infection. Dans 85 % des cas la guérison fut obtenue, mais l’ablation de l’implant et la réalisation d’une amputation ne furent pas rare. La récupération demande beaucoup d’efforts et les résultats fonctionnels ne sont satisfaisants que dans quelques cas. De noveaux progrès sont nécessaires afin de progresser dans le traitement de cette importante complication.Keywords
