Abstract

We present a case of 26-year-old woman with posttraumatic chronic osteomyelitis caused by Vibrio alginolyticus, contracted after contamination of a tibial fracture with seawater. The patient underwent bone resection and bifocal osteosynthesis according to Ilizarov and was treated with a combination of ciprofloxacin and tetracycline. The patient responded in the same way to distraction osteogenesis as any other patient with chronic osteomyelitis with large defects.
