ICD-10: M86.05

The standard treatment approaches for Acute hematogenous osteomyelitis of the femur, classified under ICD-10 code M86.05, primarily involve the following strategies:

1. Antimicrobial Therapy:
   - Early treatment with appropriate antimicrobial therapy is crucial. The most commonly used combination of antibiotics includes Oxacillin plus Clindamycin, which was applied in approximately 25.5% of cases. This combination is effective against the most common pathogens associated with osteomyelitis, particularly Staphylococcus aureus [6].

2. Surgical Intervention:
   - In some cases, orthopedic surgery may be necessary. This can include procedures such as debridement, which involves the removal of infected or necrotic tissue to promote healing and prevent the spread of infection [1][2].

3. Supportive Care:
   - Alongside antimicrobial and surgical treatments, supportive care is essential. This may involve pain management, physical therapy, and monitoring for complications to ensure a comprehensive approach to recovery.

4. Follow-Up and Monitoring:
   - Regular follow-up is important to assess the effectiveness of the treatment and to make any necessary adjustments. Imaging studies may be used to monitor the resolution of the infection and the healing of the bone.

These treatment approaches aim to effectively manage the infection, promote healing, and prevent complications associated with acute hematogenous osteomyelitis of the femur [1][2].
