Abstract
Wound care is often a problem after bone surgery. There is growing evidence that honey based products demonstrate efficacy in infected wounds after surgery. Honey has antibacterial effects and supports wound healing. Even drug resistant bacteria can be eliminated by the use of medical honey. Honey is easy to use, cost effective and has low side effects.
We report some of our experience in patients with bone tumours after rotationplasty, amputation and other serious surgery.
