    Acute osteomyelitis in children often heals with antibiotics and splintage, rarely needing surgery. This study shows conservative treatment effectively cures most cases, preventing chronic infection.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Medicine
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Orthopedic Surgery

    Background:

    • Acute osteomyelitis is a bone infection that can affect children.
    • Prompt diagnosis and effective treatment are crucial to prevent long-term complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of a non-surgical treatment protocol for acute hematogenous osteomyelitis in children.
    • To determine the necessity of surgical intervention in pediatric acute osteomyelitis cases.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 77 children with a provisional diagnosis of acute osteomyelitis over three years.
    • Confirmation of acute hematogenous osteomyelitis in 45 pediatric patients.
    • Treatment involved intravenous antibiotics (fusidic acid and cloxacillin) with splintage, followed by oral antibiotics.

    Main Results:

    • 45 children were diagnosed with acute hematogenous osteomyelitis, aged 3 days to 14 years.
    • Only 7 patients required surgical intervention.
    • One patient experienced a recurrence; all others achieved a cure without evidence of chronic osteomyelitis.

    Conclusions:

    • High-dose intravenous antibiotics combined with splintage are effective in treating most cases of acute hematogenous osteomyelitis in children.
    • Surgical drainage is infrequently required for acute hematogenous osteomyelitis.
    • Conservative management leads to favorable outcomes, minimizing the risk of chronic infection.
