Overview

Prospective study evaluates infection resolution and bone healing in patients with chronic osteomyelitis, indicating local treatment is beneficial.

Key Points

  • 85% of patients achieved complete infection resolution within six months, highlighting effective infection control.
  • Radiological evidence showed 78% of cases experienced significant bone healing after antibiotic treatment.
  • Surgical implantation of antibiotic bone beads was used to improve functional recovery, with 72% showing significant improvement.
  • No major systemic complications were noted, suggesting a safer alternative to prolonged systemic antibiotics.
