Infected Tissue Debridement and Sequestrectomy with Antibiotic Carrier Implantation
Debridement combined with local antibiotic carriers can be considered when chronic osteomyelitis repeatedly leaks fluid, forms sinus tracts, or imaging suggests sequestrum and bone destruction. The decision is based on a comprehensive assessment of the infection site and extent, bacterial type and d

How Infected Tissue Debridement and Sequestrectomy with Antibiotic Carrier Implantation is performed
The surgical method can include absorbable or polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and other antibiotic carriers, and internal/external fixation can be used to maintain stability when necessary. Thorough debridement is performed under anesthesia to remove sequestrum and necrotic tissue, which are sent for culture. After thorough irrigation, drug-containing beads or spacers are implanted, and drainage is placed. Postoperative monitoring includes body temperature, drainage, and infection indicators. Antibacterial treatment is adjusted according to drug sensitivity. The goal is to control the infection and prepare for subsequent reconstruction. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan should be based on specialist evaluation and hospital protocol.
