Calcaneal osteomyelitis (CO) is considered to be difficult to cure when it turned into a chronic phase. We report one case of calcaneal osteomyelitis which arises after the operation of calcaneal fracture. Remission was obtained by performing curettage of the infected cancellous bone of the calcaneal body and filling antibiotic-containing calcium phosphate cements (CPC) within its bone defect. This one-stage surgery is useful to treat calcaneal osteomyelitis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
