Abstract

Infected nonunion continues to be a major therapeutic challenge. Twenty-five cases of infected nonunion of tibia were trested by Papineau's cancellous bone graft at Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Taegu Medical Center from Jan. 1981 to Dec. 1987. The results were as follows. 1. Decortication, sequestrectomy and cancellous bone graft were performed simultaneously in every case. 2. Osseous union and eradication of infection were obtained at average 8 months.
