All patients were admitted with the spinal tuberculosis and treated with a combination of anterior debridement and bone graft with poterior internal fixaton using the Luque or Dick technique. The patients were able to walk within a few days postoperation. Three to seven years follow-ups show no recurrence. kyphosis and/or solid fusinon.展开更多

Methods： Between Feb. 1999 and Apr. 2004, 35 cases of chronic osteomyelitis （8 cases of nonunion ） underwent one-stage allograft after debridement in our hospital. Results： Thirty-five cases were followed up for an average period of 28 months （ range, 13 to 55 months）, in which 32 cases （91.43%） were found no infection, and 3 cases （8.57%） were confirmed recurrence of infection. Four out of 8 cases of bone nonunion healed in 9.5 months on average （ range, 3 to 12 months）, and another case also acquired union after redebridement and autograft of iliumdue to infection recurrence 35 days after surgery. Renonunion occurred in 3 cases, 2 out of whom healed after secondary operation with autograft. One case of renonunion and 2 cases of infection recurrence refused further treatment. Conclusions： A high rate of infection arrest can be attained when one-stage allograft is used to reconstruct the bone defect of chronic osteomyelitis after debridement in limbs. Therefore, chronic osteomyelitis should not be regarded as a contraindication to one-stage allogeneic bone grafting. Renonuion, however, achieves a relatively high rate, especially in cases of segmental bone defect.展开更多
