    Surgical drainage for acute hematogenous osteomyelitis in children is recommended only when an abscess is confirmed by aspiration. This approach led to good or excellent outcomes in a prospective study, contrasting with earlier retrospective findings.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Orthopedics
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Acute hematogenous osteomyelitis is a serious bone infection in children.
    • Previous treatment approaches involved surgical intervention, with varying outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of operative drainage in pediatric acute hematogenous osteomyelitis.
    • To determine optimal management strategies based on the presence of abscess.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 69 children treated with antibiotics and surgery.
    • Prospective study of 44 children with drainage guided by aspiration results.

    Main Results:

    • The retrospective group with fenestration osteotomies had three poor outcomes.
    • The prospective group, with drainage only when pus was aspirated, achieved all good or excellent results.

    Conclusions:

    • Operative drainage for acute hematogenous osteomyelitis in children should be reserved for cases with a demonstrated abscess.
    • Aspiration-guided drainage improves treatment outcomes in pediatric osteomyelitis.
