[Regeneration of bone after osteomyelitis of femur.].
- Ortopedická klinika ILF, Praha.
The authors describe in their case report the case of regeneration of proximal femur in the patient with peracute hematogenous osteomyelitis. In a 13-year old patient proximal 20 cm of bone were gradually resected, while large sequesters were extirpated with the periost left untouched. After the healing of the acute infect there occurred a quick and quality regeneration of the resected bone. The authors discuss the question of factors governing the regeneration of bone in the typical shape and the relation of the function and structure of the bone in ontogenesis. Key words: acute osteomyelitis, bone regeneration.
