Refractory osteomyelitis - The use of HBO for the treatment of osteomyelitis is reserved for those<br />

patients who have refractory osteomyelitis characterized as a failure to respond to respond to antibiotics,<br />

debridement and correction of any soft-tissue defects. For selected “refractory” patients the use of the<br />

Ilizarov technique may permit “en block” resection of infected bone from the appendicular skeleton.<br />

However in those instances involving refractory osteomyelitis of the spine, sternum, skull, or other<br />

settings, which do not permit such aggressive resection, HBO therapy becomes an treatment option.<br />

Controlled animal studies have demonstrated the hypoxic nature of chronically infected bone and verified<br />

the benefits of HBO. 30,31,32,33,34,35<br />

Specifically, HBO enhanced collagen production, capillary<br />

angiogenesis, improved osteoclast and neutrophil function.<br />

Problem wounds - Problem or chronic wounds are characterized as those defects that fail to respond to<br />

4-6 weeks of established medical and surgical management. The associated pathology is usually an<br />

interplay between hypoxia and infection. Tissue oxygen tension in or near such wounds is usually 20 mm
