["Open sky" grafting of autoplastic spongy tissue in the treatment of chronic post-fracture osteomyelitis. Histological observations].

On the basis of material taken from Padua's Institute of Clinical Orthopedics (25 operations performed according to the Papineau method between 1980 and 1986), the authors give particular attention to some little-known histological facts: a) about granulation tissue, and b) about cancellous tissue nestled in the infection sites in bone.
