Overview
The mainstay of therapy for osteomyelitis typically involves complete surgical debridement followed by antimicrobial therapy against suspected pathogens. Antimicrobial therapy is based on predisposing host factors and local resistance patterns. The standard recommendation for the treatment of chronic osteomyelitis is ≥ 4–6 weeks of parenteral antibiotics. However, oral antimicrobial agents may achieve adequate concentrations in the bone with similar cure rates as compared to parental administration, and may be considered in selected cases.
Medical Therapy
- The mainstay of therapy for osteomyelitis is antimicrobial therapy and surgical debridement.
- Antibiotic regimens should be targeted whenever possible (blood culture or biopsy if blood cultures are negative or equivocal), or should be tailored to the clinical situation.
