[Diagnostic value of osteoscintigraphy and osteoscintimetry for assessment of post-traumatic osteomyelitis and of its complications (author's transl)].

The importance of osteoscintigraphy and osteoscintimetry for diagnosis and case control in post-traumatic osteomyelitis and its complications is discussed by means of 182 bone scintigraphs. Scintigraphy as a functional examination enables clear statements on the probable future course of development of an infection of the bone, of a sequestrum, on the vitality of bone fragments, and on the probable course of infected psuedarthroses and spongiosa transplants.
