About this trial

People with neuromotor disability (i.e. following an inborn or acquired spinal cord, cerebral or peripheral neurological lesion) are at high risk of osteomyelitis-associated pressure ulcers.

The management of osteomyelitis-associated pressure ulcers is controversial. In our center, patients benefit from a one stage surgical management with bone shaving and flap covering osteitis of pressure ulcer to perform wound closing. Surgery is followed by an antibiotic treatment, secondarily adapted to intraoperative samples.

The aim of this study is to describe the cohort and to identify factors associated with failure (or success) in this frail population.
