Tibial osteomyelitis can follow open fractures with bacteria colonising the wound and persisting through biofilm and sequestrum formation. The treatment is complex, requiring eradication through debridement before limb reconstruction, for which the Taylor spatial frame (TSF) is one option. This study evaluates patient outcomes after reconstruction and identifies factors associated with post-operative complications.
