Radiograph of the affected limb showed features of chronic osteomyelitis with a large diaphyseal sequestrum on the medial cortex of tibia with incomplete involucrum [Figure 1].

Gradually, over a period of 8 months, the large tibial diaphyseal sequestrum got fully incorporated into the healthy diaphyseal bone indistinguishable from normal bony architecture [Figures 2 and 3].

The functional outcome also was excellent as demonstrated by full range of motion at the knee joint [Figures 4 and 5].
