World Orthopaedic Concern: Challenges of Managing Orthopaedic Infections in Resource-poor Settings Part 2 Questions and Answers

Description

In a medical discussion focusing on topics related to chronic osteomyelitis, the speaker, Jim Harrison, addresses audience questions regarding the management of sequestrum and involucrum. He shares his insights about the need to allow enough time for involucrum to form around the sequestrum before removal to ensure structural integrity of the limb, albeit expressing skepticism about traditional teachings on this matter. He speculates that the periosteum's vitality is crucial in this process, suggesting that it could potentially produce better results if the sequestrum is removed early. The conversation also touches upon the management of spinal tuberculosis, treatment protocols, and challenges faced in different healthcare systems, particularly in the UK and India.
