Surgical Management

Background:

Acute osteomyelitis presents persistent treatment challenges.
Hematogenous osteomyelitis requires careful diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

Observation:

A review of 93 patients with acute hematogenous osteomyelitis was conducted.
Analysis included clinical, operative, bacteriological, and hematological findings.
Eighteen patients experienced persistent bone infection.

Findings:

Surgical intervention is crucial for both diagnosis and treatment.
A combination of cloxacillin and fusidic acid is recommended for antibiotic therapy.
Specific recommendations are provided for improving diagnosis and management.
