[Osteomyelitis, therapy and prognosis (author's transl)].
The application of antibiotics at the treatment of osteomyelitis resulted in a rise of the permanent successful treatment rate. This is especially true for the acute hematogenous osteomyelitis, to a certain extent also for the chronic exogenous one, at which even today the antibiotical therapy is not as important as a surgical intervention. Under consideration of the generally accepted therapeutical principles the special importance of a much individualized treatment adjusted to the clinical picture and disease stage is pointed out. The advantages and disadvantages of an application of antibiotics at the osteomyelitis are mentioned and we try to explain the reasons for occasional therapy failures. A special chapter is devoted to the methods of filling and sterilization of the osteomyelitis bone hollows. Our own experiences with an operative combination process are reported.
