UNASSIGNED: We present a series of two cases of chronic osteomyelitis in young adults due to puncture wound over the lateral foot. Both patients presented with purulent discharge from sinus over lateral foot. There was no involvement of adjoining bones in them. Culture yielded Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Both patients were treated with adequate curetting, saucerization with cancellous bone grafting in one of the cases. Both wounds healed uneventfully with good ankle and hindfoot function.
UNASSIGNED: The cuboid is a rare site of chronic osteomyelitis due to punture wounds with foreign bodies, especially in rural population. With meticulous curettage and bone grafting, the infection can be eradicated reliably and usually with good residual function.
