| | a sequestrum (that has moved upwards in the body) | Explanation:
A sequestrum is formed when you have a "beenmergontsteking", in English it is called Osteomyelitis.
I don't know what is meant with "omhoogeslagen", I think it might be a typo and should be "omhoog geslagen". They probably mean that the dead bone has moved upwards in the body. You could translate it with some sort of description: a sequestrum that has moved upwards in the body.
A sequestrum is a piece of dead bone that has become separated during the process of necrosis from normal/sound bone.
It is a complication (sequelae) of osteomyelitis. The pathological process is as follows:
* infection in the bone leads to an increase in intramedullary pressure due to inflammatory exudates
* the periosteum becomes stripped from the osteum, leading to vascular thrombosis
* bone necrosis follows due to lack of blood supply
* sequestra are formed
The sequestra are surrounded by sclerotic bone which for all intents and purposes is relatively avascular (without a blood supply). Within the bone itself, the haversian canals become blocked with scar tissue, and the bone becomes surrounded by thickened periosteum. |

| Grading comment I am still unsure, but dislodged sounds right.
