Abstract

Fifty cases of chronic osteomyelitis, associated with septic arthritis in five cases, were treated with radical surgery, systemic antibiotics, and insertion of gentamicin-PMMA beads. Seven cases were lost to follow-up. The remaining 43 cases were followed up for an average of 14 months. All but four cases healed.
