Description

In this episode of BoardsCast, we take on osteomyelitis — one of the most frustrating and persistent complications in orthopedic surgery — and dive into how bacterial biofilm formation changes everything.

You’ll learn:

• How biofilms form and why they protect bacteria from antibiotics
• The difference between acute and chronic osteomyelitis
• Which bacteria are most commonly involved — and what they stick to
• When to debride, when to remove implants, and when to stage reconstruction
• The role of local vs. systemic antibiotic therapy
• How to recognize implant-associated infection and what happens if you miss it

Whether you're facing a draining tract, a failed repair, or planning a second-look surgery, this episode builds a framework for handling bone infections with confidence.
