Abstract
A study was made of chronic osteomyelitis in 75 patients, 40 of whom were treated by saucerization followed by closed irrigation and suction (group 1), and 35 patients who also were treated by saucerization but, instead of closed irrigation and suction thereafter, the bone defect was filled with either autogenous bone or muscle implants or simply closed secondarily (group 2). A comparison of these two groups (years 1962 through 1966) and a group of 112 patients (years 1953 through 1961) who could have been treated with closed irrigation and suction indicates that the highest rate of success was observed in the 40 patients treated by closed irrigation and suction after saucerization.
