Its procedure of treatment can range from basic incision and drainage to multiple surgical debridement and amputation, which can even reduce the need for more extensive amputation. Antibiotics The infections that are mild in nature are always treated with the help of oral antibiotics.

Affected bone is surgically excised, and a course of effective antibiotics is prescribed.
