Some aspects in the treatment of patients with a suppurative process after joint implanting

Attention is concentrated on the basically varying nature of early and late suppurative complications after implanting and hence on different approaches to treating deep suppurative processes. In early deep suppurations, timely intensive care permitted the authors to eliminate suppurative complications in 67.8%, by preserving the implant. In late suppurations associated with metallosis, the implant cannot be preserved, it is necessary to treat not only a deep suppuration, but also metallosis.
