Treatment of the relatively rare fungal osteomyelitis as mycetoma infection entails the use of antifungal medications. [9] In contrast to bacterial osteomyelitis, amputation or large bony resections is more common in neglected fungal osteomyelitis (mycetoma) where infections of the foot account for the majority of cases.
[the general surgeon] devised extensive cancer operations including extended radical mastectomy, radical gastrectomy and pancreatectomy, pelvic exenteration, the 'Commando Operation' (tongue, jaw and neck dissection), bilateral back dissection, hemipelvectomy, and then hemicorporectomy or translumbar amputation, referred to as the most ...
Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is a rare condition (1:1,000,000), in which the bones have lesions, inflammation, and pain. It is called multifocal because it can appear in different parts of the body, primarily bones, and osteomyelitis because it is very similar to that disease, although CRMO appears to be without any infection .
He wrote numerous reports, manuals and treatises on several topics, such as the development of osteomyelitis following gunshot wounds. [6] He was a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. [2] He was knighted in 1886. [7] His papers are part of the Wellcome Collection's Royal Army Medical Corps Muniments Collection. [8]
Osteomyelitis of the jaws is osteomyelitis (which is infection and inflammation of the bone marrow, sometimes abbreviated to OM) which occurs in the bones of the jaws (i.e. maxilla or the mandible). Historically, osteomyelitis of the jaws was a common complication of odontogenic infection (infections of the teeth). Before the antibiotic era, it ...
Hemipelvectomy is generally reserved for the treatment of pelvic neoplasms. [1] [2] Examples of malignancies that are treated with hemipelvectomy include osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, and Ewing's sarcoma. [1] Rarely, hemipelvectomy is performed in settings of traumatic injury and osteomyelitis. [1]
Treatment is mostly supportive care. [4] This may involve oxygen therapy, intravenous fluids, albumin, and mechanical ventilation. [2] While small amounts of fat commonly occur in the blood after a bone fracture, [3] fat embolism syndrome is rare. [4] The condition was first diagnosed in 1862 by Zenker. [1]
Examples of periosteal reactive bone in selected specimens of Triceratops. A periosteal reaction can result from a large number of causes, including injury and chronic irritation due to a medical condition such as hypertrophic osteopathy, bone healing in response to fracture, chronic stress injuries, subperiosteal hematomas, osteomyelitis, and cancer of the bone.
