Introduction

Wide, tumor-like resection for chronic osteomyelitis (COM), a standard practice previously, has been challenged recently with adequate, local debridement. This paper reviews the evolution of surgical debridement for long bone osteomyelitis, and presents the outcome of adequate debridement in a tertiary bone infection unit.

Materials & Methods

Retrospective review of records from 2014 to 2020 of patients with long bone osteomyelitis. All records were searched electronically and imaging reviewed. All patients were managed by Multidisciplinary Infection Team protocol.
