Abstract: | OPAT for osteomyelitis is effective, safe, and well-established. There are particular considerations with osteomyelitis, however, that relate to patient selection and the plans of therapy. Orthopedic infections may impose physical considerations that need to be considered. Concomitant medical problems, such as diabetes, must be considered and may be good reasons for hospital care aside from the infection. Further investigations of treatment of osteomyelitis are clearly needed, with OPAT patients being good subjects to study. |
