ABSTRACT
Post-traumatic osteomyelitis is one of the most common disorders of bone infection, which is secondary to open fracture caused by machinery injury, traffic accident, and it is also the main manifestation in the postoperative infection of open fracture. After trauma, bacteria invade bone tissue and reproduce rapidly in large quantities, which easily leads to osteomyelitis. Patients are often complaint of pain at the affected limb, loss of function, or even amputation due to deteriorated infection, resulting in loss of labor capability and poor quality of life. Because the diagnosis and treatment are not timely and standard, the treatment for post-traumatic osteomyelitis is often delayed, resulting in the difficulty of clinical cure. It also makes patients and their families bear a serious financial burden. However, the diagnosis and treatment for this disease is difficult for orthopedic physicians. In recent years, imaging methods (such as CT and MRI) combined with immune techniques have significantly improved the diagnostic accuracy and early diagnosis ability. The application of new diagnostic technologies (such as gene chip and second-generation sequencing) also makes the diagnosis more convenient and sensitive. The novel reconstruction and repair surgery (such as Ilizarov technology and Orthofix LRS technology) provides new treatment direction for orthopedic surgeons and patients.
