Abstract: Objective To analyze the infection control of chronic osteomyelitis with antibiotic bone cement. Methods In our hospital, 50 patients were randomly divided into study group and control group,after clearing the focus,patients were given antibiotic bone cement and closed lavage and drainage respectively. The hospitalization time,average number of operation and the cure rate of patients were observed. Results The average hospitalization time of 21 patients in the study group was ( 65 ± 4. 2 ) d;the mean number of operation was (2. 3 ± 1. 2);the cure rate was 85. 7%. The average duration of hospitalization of 29 patients in control group was (103 ± 2. 5) d;the mean number of operation was (2. 8 ± 1. 4);the cure rate was 55. 2%. The difference between the 2 groups was statistically significant (P<0. 05). Conclusion Antibiotic bone cement has a good therapeutic effect in the treatment of patients with chronic osteomyelitis,which reduces the hospitalization time and the number of operation,improves the cure rate of patients,focal infection after the removal is controlled well.
