Abstract:
Post-traumatic osteomyelitis is painful and challenging disease.High success rate of antimicrobial therapy in most cases has not been achieved in skeleton due to its physiological and anatomical characteristics.The key to successful management is early diagnosis and treatment.Different types of post-traumatic osteomyelitis require different medication and different surgical therapeutic strategies.Post-traumatic osteomyelitis is associated with avascular necrosis of bone and formation of sequestrum(dead bone).Surgical debridement is necessary in addition to antibiotic therapy.Generally,multidisciplinary techniques are required,including orthopaedic surgery,plastic surgery,as well as vascular surgery,especially for complex cases with soft-tissue defect.
