Osteomyelitis remains a major clinical challenge, requiring more than isolated medical or surgical interventions.
Our experience highlights a patient-centered multidisciplinary model, integrating orthopaedic surgery, infectious diseases, specialized nursing, and continuous follow-up.
The findings reinforce that multidisciplinary care, patient adherence, and continuous follow-up are key elements for better infection control, healing, and clinical outcomes.
