This case study details a successful treatment for Pseudomonas stutzeri osteitis after an open femur fracture. The patient recovered fully with a combination of antibiotics and surgical intervention.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Osteitis, a bone infection, can arise from open fractures.
  • Pseudomonas stutzeri is a potential pathogen in bone infections.
  • Effective treatment requires a multidisciplinary approach.

Observation:

  • A 46-year-old patient presented with osteitis of the left femur following an open fracture.
  • The infection was caused by Pseudomonas stutzeri.

Findings:

  • Initial treatment involved intravenous ceftazidime and amikacin, followed by oral ofloxacin.
  • Surgical debridement of the infected fracture site was performed.
  • Osteosynthesis with a blade plate and bone graft was successful after infection control.
