Abstract

Osteomyelitis is common following open fractures and is accentuated in the presence of devices like prosthetics or external fixators. It is most commonly caused by gram-positive bacteria. Fungal infections are rarely reported. This is the report of a case of zygomycosis of bone in an open fracture of femur with exposed knee joint with external fixator and proximal femoral nailing.
