Abstract:
The surgical management of osteomyelitis includes radical debridement on nonviable bone. Laser Doppler flowmetry is a method for directly assessing the functional microcirculation in bone. The early results of the use of this technique as a surgical adjunct in the management of osteomyelitis are promising.
