Brief Summary  

Chronic osteomyelitis is treated by surgical debridement and antibiotics. Historically bone cement beads loaded with antibiotics were used in treatment as they allowed a high local concentration of antibiotics with minimal systemic levels. The disadvantages were the need for a second surgery to remove the cement beads and since the bone cement sets by an exothermic process releasing heat, only heat stable antiobiotics could be used. We propose to use ceramic (hydroxyapatite) nanobeads developed by the Sri Chitra Thirunal Institute in chronic osteomyelitis in children. The theoretical advantages are the fact that any antibiotic can be added as no heat is released, the nanobeads are biodegradable and so no second surgery is needed. Moreover these beads can be used to fill bone defects when they co-exist. These beads have been used anecdotally before. We propose to do a pilot study to check the safety and feasibility of these beads in chronic osteomyelitis in children so as to plan a future clinical trial on the same.
