 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 14 Move the treatment of bone infected nonunion of tibia Of: Bo Hu, Bo Tu, Sun Hongzhen, All India Du, Aimin [Abstract] Objective To analyze the treatment of tibial bone moving infected nonunion of clinical efficacy. Methods from October 2002 to October 2007 ended with tibial bone infection debridement, reconstruction and external fixation of tibial metaphyseal compression osteotomy fixed Bone moving the treatment of tibial infected nonunion, correcting limb shortening deformities in 45 cases. Results 45 cases of tibial infection have received a control, soft tissue wounds destroy, in 4 cases pin tract infection, 44 cases of fracture healing, 1 case of fracture Again the formation of nonunion, 39 patients recovered the same leg length, and 6 cases are still 1.5 ~ 3 cm limb shortening deformities exist, 1 case osteotomy healing in advance so that the length of body failed to meet expectations, after osteotomy bone lengthening 2 ~ 9 cm, the average extension of 6 cm, without vascular and nerve damage, onset of symptoms, postoperative external fixation for 6 to 12 months, an average of 8 months, all cases extend the area of new bone formation is good. Conclusion Move the treatment of tibial bone infected nonunion, can achieve an operation both ends of the bones infection control, the eradication of skin wounds, bone fracture healing without bone grafting to achieve balanced and the role of the clinical treatment of limb length, is the treatment of infected tibial nonunion Even the ideal method.
