Resumen

ESCARPANTER BULIES, Julio C  y  BLANCO MARRERO, Yolanda. Prevalence of septic diaphyseal psuedoarthrosis in 5 years of work. Rev Cubana Ortop Traumatol [online]. 2007, vol.21, n.2. ISSN 0864-215X.

A retrospective study was conducted to determine the prevalence of septic diaphyseal pseudoarthrosis in the Orthopedics and Traumatology Service of "Comandante Pinares" Hospital in a 5-year term to know the most common cause of septic contamination of the initial fractures and the effectiveness of the treatment. The prevalence of septic diaphyseal pseudoarthrosis was 5.1 %. The most used initial treatment proved to be the external osteal fixation with RALCA® fixator, followed by AO osteosynthesis. The most frequent cause of contamination of diaphyseal fractures was the focal acute osteal exposure and the postsurgical contamination in closed fractures. The results attained were good in 46.7 % of the cases, whereas 20 % were poor, which showed the severity of the combined injuries.

Palabras clave : Septic pseudoarthrosis; complication; diaphyseal fractures.
