Davis et al (1992) suggested that there are three basic mechanisms involved in the formation of sinus tracks: infection, liquefaction and foreign bodies. Infection is one of the most common causes of sinus track formation. As cutaneous bacteria increase within the tissues, an abscess cavity can form.
How do you cure a sinus tract?
Many simple acute sinuses can be treated conservatively with dressings that encourage the granulation of the cavity and track. However, for a persistent or recurring sinus the surgical laying-open of the wound may be the best option.
What does sinus tract mean?
A tunneling wound or sinus tract is a narrow opening or passageway extending from a wound underneath the skin in any direction through soft tissue and results in dead space with potential for abscess formation.
