Hyperbaric Treatment of Chronic Refractory Osteomyelitis
Osteomyelitis meaning – chronic refractory osteomyelitis is a persistent or recurring bone infection that lasts longer than six months even after treatment that included debridement and antibiotics.
HBOT improves the pe*******on of antibiotics into the bone and stimulates osteogenesis. It has been noted that when the bones are infected, they are supplied with quite less amounts of oxygen than required.
