Overview

Retrospective analysis compares infection resolution in children receiving surgical versus non-surgical treatment for chronic osteomyelitis, indicating better outcomes with surgery.

Key Points

  • Surgical intervention leads to a 92% infection resolution rate, compared to 72% for non-surgical treatment.
  • Recurrence of infection is significantly lower in the surgical group, with 8% recurrence versus 28% in non-surgical cases.
  • Functional limitations are fewer in children who receive surgical management, indicating superior recovery outcomes.
  • Analysis included 50 children, aged around 8 years, treated within a year at Kanti Devi Medical College.
