Description

This video illustrates perichondritis, an infection of the perichondrium, the connective tissue surrounding the cartilage, often caused by bacteria following trauma or surgery. The visualization highlights the redness, swelling, and tenderness typically associated with this condition, along with the potential for abscess formation. It provides valuable insight for healthcare professionals to understand the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for perichondritis, which may include antibiotics or, in more severe cases, surgical drainage to prevent further complications.
