Abstract

Subacute osteomyelitis is well known for diagnostic difficulty because of insidious nonspecific clinical courses and radiographic appearances mimicking various benign and malignant conditions. There are controversies regarding the need for surgical debridement and/or postoperative antibiotic therapy. The purposes of this study are to report our experiences of treating subacute osteomyelitis and compare the results of systemic antibiotic therapy with local gentamicin-polymethylmethacrylate bead implantation after curettage of bone lesions.
