The involved bones included femur in 8 cases and tibial in12 cases. The average duration of infection was 5 (range from 1 years to9 years).There were sinus tracts in all cases and liquor puns was effused from them.Secretion culture collected from sinus tracts in 17 cases got Staphylococcus aureus. Antibiotic was use after thorough debridementResult:1. The combination of Traditional Medicine and Modern Medicine has made more apparent efficiency in the treatment of Chronic osteomyelitis;2.
