Abstract

Osteomyelitis of the carpus is a challenging reconstructive problem that is fortunately rare. Aggressive debridement of infected and non-viable bone is essential, often leaving extensive bone defects. Non-vascularized bone grafting is an option, but there is literature to suggest that vascularized bone reconstruction leads to faster and more successful union rates, while maintaining low complication rates. In this chapter, the use of a free medial femoral condyle (MFC) flap for salvage wrist arthrodesis to treat osteomyelitis of the entire carpus is outlined.
