Application of antibiotic impregnated beads on the patients with tibial chronic osteomyelitis.

To investigate the clinical efficacy of antibiotic impregnated beads on the tibial chronic osteomyelitis, so as to search for a more applicable method for the treatment. Through comparative analysis, we divided 72 patients with chronic tibial osteomyelitis who received treatment in hospital between January 2016 and December 2016 randomly into two groups: Control group (n=36) and the experiment group (n=36). Patients in the control group underwent closed lavage plus drainage for treatment, while those in the experiment group received the antibiotic impregnated beads.
