Abstract

1. In certain types of compound comminuted fractures, the massive dose of maggots used (5000 or more) in a short period of time (forty-eight hours) controls infection and removes loose bone particles without secondary operations.

2. Extensive bone regeneration follows this type of maggot therapy.
