Özet
Abstract Puncture wounds of the foot are relatively common injuries that occur in persons of all ages. A small percentage of puncture wounds becomes infected and can lead to complications such as osteomyelitis, osteochondritis and soft tissue abscess. These wounds must be followed up routinely one week after injury. We report a case of calcaneus osteomyelitis caused by a mixed infection with Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus subsequent to puncture wound of the foot. The characteristics of the patient, the pathogenic organisms, treatment and outcome are presented.
