Sequestrum (Sequestrum, Plural. Sequestra)

Sequestrum (Sequestrum, Plural Sequestra) is an area of ​​dead bone tissue that forms during chronic osteomyelitis at the site of infection in the bone. This area is surrounded by sclerotic bone and fibrous tissue, which appears as a denser area of ​​bone on x-ray.

The formation of such a site can cause irritation of surrounding tissues and the formation of pus, which begins to be released through the fistula. Typically, sequestra are removed surgically using sequestrectomy (sequcstrectomy).
