| These procedures may be carried out at the same time as the sequestrum is removed, or after an interval. |
| Two of these patients underwent drilling of the lesions, one underwent internal fixation, and one had a loose body of the osteochondritis sequestrum removed. |
| Despite 77 courses of antibiotics, these 12 patients required an additional 17 surgical debridements to rid the pelvis of the bone sequestrum. |
| In fact, there is less danger in leaving the sequestrum than in attempting to remove it. |
| Conclusion: The onset of pain and discharge a few months after the injury may imply the formation of a delayed sequestrum. |
| In internal necrosis the separation of dead bone from living proceeds in the manner already described, and the sequestrum is contained within the sequestral capsule. |
