Bone Infections & Reconstruction in Hyderabad

What Are Bone Infections & Why Do They Occur?

A bone infection, or osteomyelitis, is a serious condition where bacteria or fungi infect the bone, leading to pain, swelling, bone destruction, and delayed healing.

It can be caused by:

Open fractures
Surgical site infections (especially after implants)
Bloodborne infections (hematogenous spread)
Diabetic foot ulcers
Complications of joint replacements or trauma surgeries

When Is Bone Reconstruction Needed?

Bone reconstruction is required when there is:

Major bone loss due to trauma
Failed bone healing (non-union or malunion)
Bone destruction from infection or tumors
Bone defects after implant removal or debridement

Our aim is to restore limb length, strength, and function using biological or mechanical reconstruction methods.
