Specific guidelines for treatment of diabetic foot osteomyelitis

• This article is based upon "The management of diabetic foot osteomyelitis - a progress report on diagnosing and a consensus on treating osteomyelitis". The principle of treatment is to administer antibiotics while providing a local environment in which the medication can work. This typically involves the removal of dead, soft tissue and accessible dead bone during the wound care process. These interventions may be undertaken by any appropriately trained health care provider.
