Gentamicin PMMA minichains in infections of the hand

Unfallchirurgie
H J Steinig, G Asche

Abstract

Hitherto a prolonged treatment and immobilization was necessary in case of bone and soft tissue infections of the hand. The result was frequently a poor function of the hand due to ankylosis. The infection period can be shortened by an early, carefully performed sequestrotomy with additional temporary implantation of gentamicin-PMMA minichains. The evaluation of 200 cases shows the good results of this therapy method.
