Abstract :

Chronic osteomyelitis remains a daunting challenge to orthopaedic surgeons. It is often described as a disease that can never truly be cured, particularly when the biological characteristics of the causative organism are taken into account. a single center retrospective cohort study was performed among 75 patients diagnosed with chronic osteomyelitis admitted and Bone and soft tissues were collected for cultures. Patient, injury, surgery associated variables, and microbiological records were reviewed for risk factors associated with chronic osteomyelitis. The focus of data collection was to compare characteristics of patients according to outcome.
