Abstract

Osteomyelitis is a common complication of compound fracture of long bones which is difficult to treat. We present a similar case of chronic osteomyelitis on an old malunited compound fracture of distal third left femur in a nine years old child. Management of such cases requires surgery with immobilization, long term appropriate antibiotics and intensive follow up.
