Abstract
In the last 5 years, we have seen 12 cases (13 fingers) of osteomyelitis due to injuries; nine male and female. The ages ranged from 19 to 67 yr, 44±8 (mean±S. D. )
There were 2 thumbs, 2 index fingers, 5 middle fingers, 1 ring finger and 3 little fingers. Most problems were induced by open injuries, so first treatment is very important in preventing osteomyelitis. Treatment : 6 cases of amputation. 5 cases of refresh and bone-graft. and 2 cases were treated with antibiotics.
