Zusammenfassung:We evaluated 230 chronic osteomyelitis patients in GATA Haydarpasa Training Hospital Underwater and Hyperbaric Medicine Department. Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBO) Therapy was applied to patients at 2.5 ATA per day lasted 90 -120 min between the years 1995-2001. Medical treatments and surgical intervention were also applied in addition to Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. The rate of the sedimentation, CRP, radiography and the clinical view were made use of as an evaluation criteria. Among all, 135 patients (58.69%) were recovered. The number of HBO therapy sessions were 53.6 ± 8. As a result HBO therapy is evaluated as valuable as an adjunctive treatment in the chronic osteomyelitis in addition to medical and surgical treatments.
