Computed tomography was used to study soft tissues of the femur in 78 patients with its chronic recurrent osteomyelitis and the studied parameters were estimated. The fibrous changes were found to be more pronounced in posttraumatic osteomyelitis; the thickening of the subcutaneous fat and its atrophy were equally marked; the density gradients between the intact muscle, infiltrated muscle tissue, and purulent leakage were calculated.
