Osteomyelitis: Surgical debridement vs Antibiotics - apple09 - ArchivalUser - 10-21-2011
When would you consider surgical debridement necessary in osteomyelitis, and when would you consider antibiotics alone are sufficient)?

UW.. if you have choice between antibiotic and debridement.. antiobitics first.
