ESCARPANTER BULIES, Julio César. Una solución para exposiciones óseas postraumáticas: asociación de injerto de epiplon mayor con ozonoterapia. Rev Cubana Invest Bioméd [online]. 1996, vol.15, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3011.

Before the frequency of injuries with posttraumatic osteal exposition of the limbs,it is reported the use of greater omentum joined to ozonotherapy as a practical solution to correct these defects, with association to the exposition of the fracture focus in the presence or not of local infection. It is demonstrated how with the association of these methods cure time may be shortened due to the early appearance of granulation tissue even on osteal surfaces, local inflammatory signs decrease in a septic medium with no signs of biological rejection, and wasting material, anesthetics, drugs, and stay length may be saved on taking the graft from patients operated on by puerperal ligatures, previous acceptation of donors and receivers. The graft implantation is performed local anesthesia and there is no previous preparation of the injured patient. It is fixed with alternative sutures, its cost is very low, and the patient feels highly satisfied.
