Specialised field of Orthopaedics rebuilding and lengthening limbs

Bone Infection

Bone infections pose a serious threat, with a high risk of recurrence and potential amputation. Managing these conditions requires a meticulous and multidisciplinary approach to achieve the best possible outcome.

My approach to managing bone infections is comprehensive and involves several critical components. This includes thorough debridement to remove infected tissue, fracture related infection, reconstructing damaged soft tissue, stabilising the affected bone, targeted antibiotic therapy, managing dead spaces, and subsequent reconstruction.

With a musculoskeletal infection, I bring together specialists from various disciplines to craft individualised management plans for each patient. This multi-disciplinary team allows for a collaborative approach to ensure that every aspect of your care is addressed with precision, with the goal of providing you with the most effective treatment and the best chances for a full recovery.

Your well-being and optimal outcome are my top priorities.
