  4. Figure 3 a–d: A 75-year-old man with acute recurrence of chronic post-traumatic femoral osteitis which had been dormant for 17 years. Necrotizing soft tissueinfectionswithevidenceofmethicillin-resistantstaphylococci (MRSA) andhemolyticgroup G streptococci. On admissionhe had a 5-day history of progressive pain in the right distal thigh, leukocytes were 19 600/mm3, C-reactive protein 31 mg/dL (norm <0.5 mg/dL). Radical débridement with excision of skin, fascia, and parts of the left distal vastuslateralis, wide femoral resection, bone marrow revision and reaming, temporary wound closure with artificial skin. Staged revision after 48 hours with knee joint revision, subtotal synovectomy, implantation of gentamicin–Palacos spacers. Later, débridement with joint irrigation, placement of PMMA beads, and a total of six further revisions. Local flap graft using the biceps femoris and a myocutaneous lateral gastrocnemius flap. This was followed by longlasting remission. Five months later the patient suffered a pathological fracture on twisting his knee. He was treated with an external fixator and cancellous bone graft. Full weight bearing possible after 6 months, follow-up after 12 months Walter, G; Kemmerer, M; Kappler, C; Hoffmann, R Treatment AlgorithmsforChronic Osteomyelitis DtschArzteblInt 2012; 109(14): 257-64; DOI: 10.3238/arztebl.2012.0257
