 Chronic Osteomyelitis still represents difficult problem in a day-to-day practice of an orthopaedic surgeon. Closer to the centre of body we come, more difficult it gets to eradicate the infection in a bone.
It is well accepted that the most reliable way of eradicating a bone infection is to remove the infected bone. Unfortunately this is not always possible. Even if it is, it comes with a price and limitations. Growing new bone does not represent a significant challenge any more in current orthopaedic practice. In Chronic Osteomyelitis management, growing new bone using callus distraction methods remains reliable and predictable tasks. Soft tissue management unfortunately is not.
