A member asked:
Dead soft skin tissue removed from the bone does it mean infection has spread to bone and how serious is it if it has?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could have! Discuss: with your surgeon, as I am sure he took samples from the bone or the fluid from the marrow, if he was concerned about infection. So talking to him should be beneficial.
