ABSTRACT
The aim of this work was to evaluate the outcome and efficacy of treatment in a homogeneous group of skeletally immature patients with chronic osteomyelitis of the long bones managed by a combination of radical debridement and insertion of tobramycin-impregnated calcium sulfate pellets to fill the bone defect in a single-stage procedure. Between 2011 and 2016, 12 skeletally immature patients were treated surgically by the reported technique. Single-stage surgery using tobramycin-impregnated calcium sulfate pellets in association with systemic antibiotic therapy yields satisfactory outcomes in skeletally immature children presenting chronic osteomyelitis by reducing the risk of occurrence of comorbidities, hospital stays, and healthcare costs.
