Summary
This is a single centre trial of children with bone and joint infections (BJIs). The primary
objective is to establish if in children with acute, uncomplicated BJIs, entirely oral
antibiotic treatment is not inferior to initial intravenous (IV) treatment for 2 to 4 days
followed by an oral antibiotic course in achieving full recovery 12 months after
presentation. Children will be randomly allocated to the 'entirely oral antibiotic' group or
the 'standard treatment' group.
