Aim

Calcaneal osteomyelitis remains a difficult condition to treat with high rates of recurrence and below knee amputation; particularly in cases of severe soft tissue destruction. This study assesses the outcomes of combined ortho-plastics treatment of complex calcaneal osteomyelitis.

Method

A retrospective review was performed of all patients who underwent combined single stage ortho-plastics treatment of calcaneal osteomyelitis (2008- 2022). Primary outcome measures were osteomyelitis recurrence and BKA. Secondary outcome measures included flap failure, operative time, complications, length of stay.
