Chronic Osteomyelitis is a bone infection predicted on pre-existing osteonecrosis. Osteonecrosis usually takes 3 months to establish (separation of sequestrum from parent bone) Usually mixed organisms S. aureus E. coli S. pyogens Proteus Pseudomonas aeroginosas S. epidermidis (Coagulase-negative staphylococcus) in the presence of implants Bone infection predicted on pre-existing osteonecrosis. Osteonecrosis usually takes 3 months […]

Chronic Osteomyelitis is a progressive long-term infection of the bone and bone marrow characterized by the presence of involucrum and sequestrum. Details on Chronic Osteomyelitis can be explained in this link. Proper sequential and relevant history taking is very important in any short case to begin. Unnecessary and long negative history will take time and […]

Bioabsorbable Polymers ( alpha polyesters or poly alpha hydroxyl acids) have been studied and used recently in orthopedics for multiple causes. Some are used in managing bone defects in chronic osteomyelitis. With recent advances in medical practice, these polymers are getting more space in different fields of medicine. Polylactic acids (PLA) Poly glycolic acids (PGA) […]
