According to him, cases of people with the bone infection are common. “If you visit any orthopaedic clinic, about 30 per cent of the cases are due to a bone infection. Diabetes is one of the risks of bone infection. Similarly, a person with a weakened immune system stands a higher risk of developing a bone infection. That is why people that have open fractures stand a high chance of developing a bone infection if they go to traditional bone setters for treatment,”he noted.
