Life-saving hip disarticulation following necrotizing myofasciitis from invasive mucormycosis after blast injury: A case report

Invasive mucormycosis following trauma is a rare but devastating condition requiring early recognition, and a combination of aggressive surgical and medical management. This case highlights the critical role of hip disarticulation as a life-saving measure in refractory necrotizing infections, emphasizing the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to optimize outcomes in complex clinical scenarios.
