Management of chronic osteomyelitis using an irrigation suction technique.

Fifty cases of chronic osteomyelitis were treated by closed, continuous, suction and irrigation and followed up for between six months and eight years. In group A, 25 cases were treated by irrigation with antibiotics, and in group B, 25 cases were treated by irrigation with Bitadine solution, irrespective of the culture and sensitivity reports. Appropriate antibiotics were given systemically. There was no notable difference in the results in the two groups, with an overall success rate of about 80%.
