A member asked:
In foot reconstruction to correct cavus deformity from year old compartment syndrome, should necrotic legmuscles be debrided, or does it matter now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Do what it takes.: I'm not sure that we are on the same page as to the meaning of necrosis. Having said that, any tissue that could have a statistical compromising influence on the successful out come of the surgery, should be dealt with appropriately.
