Abstract

Osteomyelitis represents a challenging condition in the diabetic foot with an associated high risk of major amputation. S53P4 Bioactive Glass (BG) has bacterial inhibiting properties on the market and indicated to be used in osteomyelitis. The objective of the study was to test the efficacy and safety of BG in treating diabetic foot osteomyelitis. This was an observational, retrospective, single-centre study involving subjects with diabetes affected by osteomyelitis of the foot who underwent surgical debridement from 01/2016 to 10/2018. Overall, 44 diabetic patients (14 [31.8%] female, aged 68.0 ± 10.2 years, diabetes duration 26.8 ± 11.9 years) were studied: 22 (50%) treated with surgical debridement and a local application of BG; 22 (50%) treated by means of surgical debridement. The primary outcome was the osteomyelitis resolution. Revascularization was performed before surgical procedure in 31 (70.5%) of patients. Systemic antibiotics were used in both groups. The osteomyelitis resolution rate was significantly higher in subjects treated with BG than in subjects treated with traditional procedure (18 [90%] vs 13 [61.9%], respectively p = .03). The odds of BG to reach osteomyelitis resolution was 5.54 times greater than for traditional treatment (odds ratio 5.54, 95% confidence interval 1.10-30.5). The use of BG was associated with an 81% lower probability to need additional antibiotic therapy compared to subjects treated with traditional procedure (odds ratio 0.19, 95% confidence interval 0.04-0.87). The debridement of osteomyelitis followed by application of BG could be an effective and safe option in the treatment of osteomyelitis of the diabetic foot.
