Microbiologic and Histopathologic Features of Pedal Osteomyelitis
The value of microbiology and histopathology in the diagnosis of neuropathic foot osteomyelitis remains poorly understood. In this retrospective cohort study, we evaluated the concordance of microbiology and histopathology results from bone resections and found similar proportions of bacterial growth in samples with and without histopathologic evidence of osteomyelitis.
