Abstract
- Chronic osteomyelitis continue to be a therapeutic challenge. The osteomyelitis also implies chronic ischemia of the diseased bone ; thus systemic antibiotic treatment may not be as effective as we want. In 1972, Klemm developed a new procedure to supplement saucerization in the treatment of chronic osteomyelitis, alternative to irrigation and suction-drainage, i.e., Gentamicin-PMMA Beads. The authors analysed 35cases of the chronic osteomyelitis which were admitted and treated by sauceriztion and Gentamicin-PMMA Beads in Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Korea Veterans Hospital from Aug. 1984 to Jan. 1988.
