In cases attended with suppuration, the swelling is incised and drained, and if there is a sequestrum, it must be removed. |
Two of these patients underwent drilling of the lesions, one underwent internal fixation, and one had a loose body of the osteochondritis sequestrum removed. |
Pseudomonas aeruginosa was isolated from a lung sequestrum of one of the necropsied goats. |
Conclusion: The onset of pain and discharge a few months after the injury may imply the formation of a delayed sequestrum. |
These procedures may be carried out at the same time as the sequestrum is removed, or after an interval. |
In fact, there is less danger in leaving the sequestrum than in attempting to remove it. |
