Abstract
Fifty-four patients with acute and chronic septic arthritis and osteomyelitis were treated with clindamycin. Forty-seven responded satisfactorily. Five patients relapsed but all were cured by a second course of clindamycin. One patient required early amputation following non-union of a compound fracture and one patient was lost to follow-up. Side-effects were observed in 9 patients but all were minor.Keywords
