Clinical particulars

73-year-old female with osteomyelitis caused by Group B Streptococcus and MRSA infection. Presented with exposed hardware and post-operative drainage issues, 1 year after pilon fracture repair and subsequently 2 weeks after removal of all hardware.

Treatment

Hardware removal and repeat debridement on the medial side of the ankle resulted in a large dead space which was managed using STIMULAN mixed with antibiotic to form a paste.

Outcome

6 months after treatment the patient was free from infection, fully weight-bearing and without restrictions on activity - with complete absorption of STIMULAN paste. Note: See STIMULAN page for regulatory statements. MA0077R5
