Long-term results of surgical treatment with titanium nickelide of patients with chronic osteomyelitis
Thirty four patients with chronic osteomyelitis were treated in the hospital during six years. Operations of sequester ectomia and filling the residual bone cavity by small granulated titanium nickelide was carried out. Relapses and complication of the disease during the observation period were not revealed. The study showed that bioinert ability and biocompatibility of porous implants of titanium nickelide provide the fast and effective suppression of inflammation process in the bone tissue. They also make possible to reconstruct, recover and replace the bones.
