What Are the Treatment Options for Chronic Osteomyelitis?

In the early stage of chronic osteomyelitis, adequate antibiotic therapy can be administered to eradicate the causative pathogen. For inpatients, intramuscular injection may be used for symptomatic relief. However, during an acute exacerbation, surgical intervention is often required. Systemic supportive treatment may also be necessary, including blood transfusion and human albumin administration, among other comprehensive therapeutic measures. Therefore, prompt diagnosis and early treatment are essential to reduce treatment complexity.
