The healing of open tibial fractures treated with reamed intramedullary nail fixation was not significantly accelerated by the addition of an absorbable collagen sponge containing rhBMP-2.
Curettage followed by anti-tuberculosis therapy for one year resulted in good healing, but two children had residualjoint contractures. Biopsy should be taken from the cystic area rather than from the synovium when a joint is involved.
