Abstract
Abstract. We present the rare case of a 61-year-old female with
Mycobacterium fortuitum osteomyelitis of the cuboid bone following penetrating plantar trauma. The
patient underwent a single-stage surgery for the condition, including lesion debridement and
bone defect filling with absorbable, gentamicin-/vancomycin-loaded, calcium
sulfate–hydroxyapatite biocomposites, that resolved favorably 5 months
after intervention.
