Figure 3. External image of the patient’s wound after debridement. All internally affected tissue was debrided, as well as external debridement from the right inferior gluteal area to above the right labia to healthy, bleeding tissue. The right inferior pubic ramus is exposed and appears dark and friable, findings suspicious for osteonecrosis. A Penrose drain is in place from the anus through the external opening of the wound.
