✦ Synopsis


31 cases of infected pseudarthrosis of the femur were re-osteosynthesized with the interlocking nail. Bony consolidation was obtained in 26 patients, in all cases the chronic osteomyelitic infection subsided with removal of the nail. Pseudarthrosis persisted in 3 cases, after removal of the nail the patients could walk with a walking splint. In one of this group bony consolidation was obtained after repeated interlocking nailing. Persisting pseudarthrosis and infection was the indication for amputation in 2 cases.
