Diabetic patients with critical limb ischaemia may be affected by severe wound and skin ulcer infections. We report a case of a patient with bilateral femorotibial occlusion and methicillin-resistant infection. The patient was treated with femoroperoneal vascular bypass, debridement of wound dehiscence and targeted antimicrobial therapy for symptom resolution and healing of the wound.

Developing a Risk Score for Predicting Multiple Revision Surgeries in Patients With Fracture-Related Infections.
J Am Acad Orthop Surg
January 2025
From the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL (Yeager, Rutz, Strother, Spitler, and Johnson), and the Heersink School of Medicine, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL (Gross, Benson, and Carter).
Introduction: Postoperative infections are a leading cause of morbidity following fracture repair. The purpose of this study is to develop a risk score predicting fracture-related infection (FRI) that will require one versus multiple revision surgeries related to infection eradication and bone healing.
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study conducted at a single level I trauma center from 2013 to 2020.

Department of Orthopedics Surgery and Traumatology, Faculty of Medicine, Assiut University, Assiut, Egypt.
Background: Vascularized bone grafts (VBGs) are currently the main surgical option for the restoration of humeral bone defects particularly when defects are larger than 6 cm. Because it offers a strong, rapid blood supply, VBGs easily integrate into the recipient sites and undergo active resorption and remodeling into healthy bone through primary bone healing. Additionally, they support the recipient site's immune system in preventing and reducing infection.

Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare, often idiopathic, noninfectious inflammatory neutrophilic dermatitis that causes painful ulcerative cutaneous papillomatous lesions. PG often mimics surgical infection, wound dehiscence, and postoperative cellulitis, leading to high rates of misdiagnosis and mistreatment. Here, a healthy 17-year-old adolescent girl with congenital breast asymmetry, macromastia, and a history of only mild intermittent autoimmune conditions developed an open wound along her inferior left breast incision 2 weeks after reduction mammoplasty.
