Abstract:
The current management for chronic osteomyelitis centers on adequate antibiotic coverage and surgical debridement of nonviable tissue. The eradication of osteomyelitis, however, often involves a prolonged and frustrating course of management. Nonsurgical adjunctive modalities have not been widely used, mostly due to a lack of perceived efficacy, and have remained in a state of infancy. In this article, we will outline the rationale, current status, and evidence for several potential adjuncts to osteomyelitis management.
