Abstract: Chronic osteomyelitis is a common disease. Traditionally, osteomyelitis is treated with parenteral antibiotics for 4 to 6 weeks after thorough debridement. However, this antibiotic treatment course has no documented superiority over other courses of antibiotic treatment. As this disease has been understood more deeply and various treatment technologies have been explored recently, the use of antibiotics has also changed. This article reviews the latest progress concerning the course of antibiotic treatment for chronic osteomyelitis.
