A 49 years old gentleman presented to our hospital with purulent discharge from his left leg for two months duration after sustaining an open fracture grade IIIA of left tibia and fibula in January 2016. He had a fall from 20 feet height while working and was admitted to another medical facility on 12/1/16. There were no other injuries reported. He underwent wound debridement initially and was put on an external fixator on 16/2/16. There was substantial bone loss at the fracture site which was bridged using an external fixator. Subsequently, he developed purulent discharge from his wound and was admitted with a diagnosis of osteomyelitis of his left tibia.
