Overview
Osteomyelitis may require surgical debridement. Severe cases may lead to the loss of a limb.
Surgery
- There is a wide range of techniques and methods for less aggressive debridement and reconstruction surgery.[1]
- The goal is to remove sequestra and infected tissues, followed by reconstruction or plastic surgery to save the skeletal structure.[2]
- Limb amputation is another option if the infection is so severe that the limb cannot be salvaged by the surgeon.[3]
- Patients with other co-morbidities such as diabetes or peripheral vascular diseases stand a higher risk of limb amputation.[2]
