Symptoms
When bone infection should be suspected
Bone infection can be slow, recurring and easy to underestimate if only the wound is treated.
Warning signs
- Persistent or repeated wound discharge.
- Sinus near an old fracture or implant.
- Pain, swelling, redness or warmth over bone.
- Fever or recurrent infection symptoms.
- Fracture not healing with suspected infection.
Common situations
- Open compound fracture history.
- Previous plate, screw or nail surgery.
- Infected non-union.
- Diabetic or immune-risk patient.
- Old injury with recurrent pus discharge.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis and infection workup
Treatment is stronger when the infection source and bone stability are both understood.
Useful tests
- X-rays to assess bone and implant status.
- ESR, CRP and blood tests as advised.
- Culture reports from deep tissue when available.
- MRI/CT in selected cases.
- Review of previous operation and antibiotic history.
Planning questions
- Is infection active or old and quiet?
- Is there dead bone or sequestrum?
- Is the fracture healed, delayed or non-union?
- Is implant removal, stabilization or staged surgery required?
Treatment
Treatment pathway for osteomyelitis and infected fractures
Bone infection treatment may require staged care rather than one simple medicine course.
Possible steps
- Debridement to remove infected or dead tissue where needed.
- Culture-guided antibiotic planning with physician support.
- Fracture stabilization when bone is unstable.
- Management of infected implant or failed fixation.
- Wound and soft tissue planning.
What patients should know
- Chronic osteomyelitis can recur if the infected focus remains.
- Antibiotics alone may not solve every bone infection.
- Smoking, diabetes control and nutrition affect healing.
- Follow-up is essential after surgery or antibiotic treatment.
Reconstruction
Bone defect and infected non-union reconstruction
After infection control, some patients need reconstruction for bone loss, deformity or non-union.
Reconstruction options
- Bone grafting in selected cases.
- Ilizarov or rail fixator support where suitable.
- Bone transport for selected bone defects.
- Revision fixation after infection control.
- Physiotherapy and staged weight-bearing.
