The model of an experimental posttraumatic osteomyelitis is described. Acute and chronic osteomyelitis was produced by inoculation of 10(5) Staph. aureus or E. coli to fractured femora--stabilised or not--with intramedullar nailing. The results are discussed. The model seems to be useful to further studies on posttraumatic osteomyelitis.
