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]
- Goal is to remove sequestra and infected tissues and then reconstruction or plastic surgery to save the skeletal structure.[2]
- Limb amputation is another option if the infection is severe enough to not allow the surgeon to save the limb.[3]
- However, in many patients there are other co-morbidities such as, diabetes or peripheral vascular diseases that make the amputation high risk.[2]
