Osteomyelitis of Fibula in a Child: A Rare Case Report with a Huge Sequestrum
Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
Abstract: Osteomyelitis of the fibula is uncommon. It can occur secondary to trauma however it can also occur as a result of haematogenous spread from distant sites of infection. There is usually a period of sub clinical infection and this can lead to delay in diagnosis. Chronic osteomyelitis need not always be associated with a discharging sinus as was in our case. An ongoing disease unresponsive to antibiotic treatment warrants an operative debridement as was the scenario in our case. Keywords: Osteomyelitis, fibula, haematogenous, sequestrum.
