J Orthop Rheumatism Abstract Introduction: Staphylococcus aureus is the most common cause of osteomyelitis with significant morbidity and mortality outcomes. Methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus osteomyelitis reactivation years after the primary episode is a well-known phenomenon. However, there are few case reports documenting dormant Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus osteomyelitis recurrence years later. Our case report of dormant Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus tibial osteomyelitis reactivation after 17-years, represents one of the longest documented recurrence intervals from initial bout of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus , as well as the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges involved. Case Report: A 55-year-old male reports suffering a Gustilo & Anderson grade 1 open left tibial plafond fracture in 2004 that was managed with wound debridement and Taylor Spatial Frame. Initial management was with debridement and primary closure of the wound and application of a Taylor spatial frame (TSF) as definitive management of the fracture. One month following application of the frame, the patient reports he suffered a pin site infection. This was found to be infected osteomyelitis MRSA. The wound underwent surgical debridement and once the fracture was consolidated enough at three months, removal of external frame and intramedullary reaming and irrigation was performed. No further soft tissue coverage was required. The patient was treated with a prolonged course of intravenous vancomycin, followed by oral clindamycin. Since this episode, the patient has been asymptomatic and denied any further hospitalisations and the patient returned to full function without any limitations. The patient does not report any recurrent wounds, discharge, sinus or pain. closed blow knee, patient knee Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus tibial osteomyelitis, most proximal medial tibial targeted surgical an antibiotic nail and prolonged antibiotics.

Conclusion: Gunshot fractures Grade Gustillo I and II can be treated with debridement plus immediately/early internal fixation; Fixation methods remain controversial in Gustillo III fractures.
