Chronic Osteomyelitis on Femur X-Ray
Characteristic imaging features include
1. Sequestrum: Dead bone fragment separated from surrounding bone due to necrotic changes with bone resorption.
2. Involucrum: Thick sheath of periosteal new bone formation
3. Cloaca: An opening in the involucrum which drains purulent and necrotic material out of the dead bone.
