Implication

Observational study finds dual vancomycin therapy improves infection outcomes in patients with MRSA osteomyelitis and septic non-union, indicating effective local delivery methods.

Key Points

All patients achieved infection cure, with fracture union in all septic non-union cases, highlighting the effectiveness of dual therapy.
Treatment involved local vancomycin via polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) and a short intravenous course, showing no systemic toxicity.
This observational study included 14 patients with a mean age of 46 years, indicating promising results for high-dose local antibiotic delivery.
High local antibiotic delivery improved patient outcomes and reduced hospitalization duration, though secondary removal of PMMA was needed.
