Osteomyelitis debridement techniques.

Abstract
Debridement of chronic osteomyelitis can be technically demanding and difficult. The surgical principles that govern treatment of osteomyelitis involve an atraumatic approach and complete removal of all devitalized tissue and foreign material. Despite recent advances in medical science, the quality of surgical debridement remains the most critical factor in the successful management of chronic orthopaedic infections. Important areas discussed include thorough preoperative evaluation, the surgical philosophy, soft tissue aspects, bone considerations, and dead space management.
