In this retrospective study, 130 patients with diabetic foot osteomyelitis were analysed. 66.9% of these healed with antibiotic treatment alone and 13.9% needed amputation, of which 1.5% were major. Presence of MRSA was associated with adverse outcome ( 53.3% vs 21.1%, p = 0.04) which was defined as death, amputation and failure to heal. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
