A member asked:

Help please? how long does a staph infection last post op achilles tendon debridement?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Was the staph infection before or after the debridement. Antibiotics will usually clear it up in 1-3 weeks depending on the depth and structures that are infected.
