Adjuvant local antibiotic therapy in the management of diabetic foot osteomyelitis
The adjuvant use of antibiotic loaded bio-composite bone void filler locally was associated with increased infection clearance rates regarding diabetic foot osteomyelitis when compared with the standard care of treatment while achieving lower rates of infection persistence and recurrence. It also has the potential to reduce amputation and mortality rates with further research.
