Sequestrum is the necrotic bone which has become walled off from its blood supply and can present a nidus for chronic osteomyelitis. Involucrum is a layer of new bone growth outside existing bone seen in osteomyelitis. In chronic osteomyelitis, the periosteum is elevated away from the cortical bone by the accumulation of pus leaking from the sequestrum. New bone develops from the periosteum, forming the involucrum. Illustration A is a diagram demonstrating the sequestrum and involucrum that are found in osteomyelitis. Illustration B is a radiograph of sequestrum
