Abstract:
BACKGROUND:The ideal specimen for identification of the etiologic agents in chronic osteomyelitis for best antibiotic decision remains controversial. OBJECTIVE:To assess the concordance of sinus track culture (STC) with that of intraoperative bone culture (IBC) to guide antibiotic therapy in chronic osteomyelitis. METHODS:A prospective comparative study of chronic osteomyelitis patients seen in our centre from January 2004 to December 2006. Specimens from the depths of sinus track and intraoperative bone biopsy were obtained from each patient and subjected to microbiologic examination and their concordance determined. RESULTS:In STCs Staphylococcus aureus has the highest sensitivity (60.5%), specificity (45.0%) and positive predictive value (72.2%). The overall sensitivity (50.9%), specificity (20%) and predictive value (47.5%) of sinus track specimens were very low. Antibiotic decision based on IBC showed 106 patients (82.8%) had resolution of chronic osteomyelitis at mean of 2 years follow-up. CONCLUSION:IBC appears to predict more reliably the complete etiologic organisms than STCs in chronic osteomyelitis.

杂志文章abstract:INTRODUCTION:The osteosynthesis of intracapsular hip fractures results in a 19-48% failure rate. Only when the anatomical reduction is secured by stable fixation, revascularisation of the femoral head can take place and the fracture can heal by primary osteonal reconstruction. The common implants lack rotational and/or...
