Fifty-one patients suffering from chronic post-traumatic or postoperative osteomyelitis of
the lower extremities were included in the retrospective investigation. The patients were
assigned to the study group of the combination therapy with antibiotic-loaded calcium sulfate
and antibiotic-loaded PMMA or the control group of the antibiotic-loaded PMMA. Hematological
parameters, eradication of infection, rate of infection recurrence and reoperation rate were
evaluated during the follow-up.
