Professional combat sports athlete Tim Schultz is in the fight of his life as options are running out after a staph infection will has spread and will most likely call for the amputation of his left leg. A Queensland, Australia native, Schultz, is a professional boxer and mixed-martial arts ...
Background Some patients require major leg amputation after lower-extremity prosthetic bypass for graft occlusion or failure of wound healing, despite a patent graft. Amputation above or below the knee was hypothesized to increase susceptibility to prosthetic graft infection in the ipsilateral extremity....
Radiographic changes of osteomyelitis can be delayed as much as 2 weeks after onset of infection. Overall, radiographs are insensitive to osteomyelitis in early stages and cannot determine the extent of involvement of osseous or soft tissue disease. Therefore, whether negative or positive, additional ...
(I once had an autopsy on a man who was kicked by a horse in his leg. In a matter of hours, doctors noticed crepitation around the wound. Within a couple more hours they had performed a hindquarter amputation – disarticulation of the hip – but it was not soon enough and in ...

Active wound infection is frequently present even after amputation. Ninety-eight (93%) out of 105 specimens of Blackfoot lesions showed positive cultures for one or more potentially pathogenic microorganisms. Enterococci, alpha type, were found most frequently, followed by Proteae, Staphylococcus ...
Amputation, while capable of completely eliminating infected lesions, may pose challenges in terms of prosthesis functionality and significantly impact patients’ psychological well-being. The key to successful treatment of peri-ankle infections is thorough clearance of both infected soft tissue and bone ...
(Prompers et al, 2007; Lipsky et al, 2012). Amputation may be considered when clinical resolution cannot be achieved by antibiotics. A recent study in the UK found that one year after diagnosis, 55% of DFI patients were still infected and almost 15% had undergone amputation (Ndosi et al...
Sizzling noise and gas entrainment were detectable about 9 h after the first symptoms. Despite immediate surgical treatment, and in the end amputation, the patient died 14 h later of septic shock. Histopathology showed gas gangrene in the leg tissue, with hemorrhagic muscular necrosis and enclosed...
