Dr Surya Bhan, Head of the Department, Orthopaedy, AIIMS, says:
Depending on conditions of the bone, repeated operations and repeated course of antibiotics is necessary. Cure is possible in 45 of cases, though it takes repeated surgeries. Another 45 have a tendency of getting pus. Chronic infection can lead to infections in other parts of the body like kidney, bones and lungs. So it is necessary to get it treated.
