Osteoradionecrosis​

Osteoradionecrosis is a condition that occurs when radiation exposure kills bone tissue and the tissue isn’t able to regenerate normally. This most commonly occurs after radiation therapy for cancer. It is most often found in the lower jawbone after treatment for head and neck cancers.

Advanced wound healing treatments for osteoradionecrosis include:

• Wound debridement (removal of tissue)
• Surgery
• Systemic hyperbaric oxygen therapy
