Creating a metatarsal resection protocol was crucial in order to improve excision of all bone infection. Hopefully, this surgical protocol can serve as a guide to future surgeons dealing with severe bone infection in the foot and overall improve rates of post-operative osteomyelitis recurrence.…mehr
