what happens how long tO RECOVER
Answer:
It all depends on your immune system and how healthy you are. Did the bone infection result from a chronic wound or surgery? I think state of mind is also a big player in how fast you recover. My grandpa lost his foot two years ago and he was up and moving within 3 months. He used a product called Amerigel he said it helped keep infection at bay and increased the healing. Be careful of infection (staph), keep your wound clean. Staph can slow the healing cycle considerably. Good Luck!!
It would depend greatly on the person, their age and their personal health status. This would be best to ask the surgeon.
Osteomyelitis is inflammation and destruction of bone caused by bacteria, mycobacteria, or fungi. Common symptoms are localized bone pain and tenderness with constitutional symptoms (in acute osteomyelitis) or without constitutional symptoms (in chronic osteomyelitis). Diagnosis is by radiography and cultures. Treatment is with antibiotics and sometimes surgery.
The outlook is worse for chronic osteomyelitis, even with surgery. Amputation may be needed, especially in diabetics or other patients with poor blood circulation. The outlook is guarded in those who have an infection of a prosthesis.
