This lecture by Dr, Warren Joseph, DPM, FIDSA explaims how most physicians have been taught that "osteomyelitis is a surgical disease" and that the "gold standard" of treatment is the use of 4-6 weeks of intravenous antibiotics following aggressive surgical debridement. Surprisingly, there is little to no human evidence to support either of these treatment options.
