What is osteomyelitis?
Osteomyelitis is a bone infection majorly caused by bacteria (staphylococcus), and sometimes due to germs and viruses commonly found on the skin or in the nose of healthy individuals. The common entry points of this bacteria are bloodstream, injuries, and surgeries.
Types of osteomyelitis:
Acute Osteomyelitis
Acute osteomyelitis results from trauma, but is usually treated with medications in a couple of weeks. At SUNCOR, treating acute osteomyelitis is easy, as we have Dr. Jain with us, who has great insight into osteomyelitis and its treatments.
Chronic Osteomyelitis
Chronic osteomyelitis is a severe bone and joint infection since long time that leads to the destruction of the bone where pieces of the bone separate from the healthy bone, which does not go away with the medications, usually the surgery is the option in many case. Dr. Jain has hands-on experience in treating any type of chronic osteomyelitis with surgery and that makes it easier for him to treat it with a 100% success rate.
Why is osteomyelitis surgery required in some cases?
The surgery eliminates all sorts of infected tissues from the bone and helps prevent the spreading of infection and thus further damage caused to the bone. The surgery ultimately either helps to repair the damage caused by the infection or to prevent the disease from spreading.
