Chronic Osteomyelitis Key Points: Chronic osteomyelitis is an infection of bone with a duration of symptoms > 4 weeks. The most common symptom of chronic osteomyelitis is pain. The clinical presentation of chronic osteomyelitis is often indolent, and patients rarely appear acutely ill.

2013年6月5日 · In this article, we report the case of acute pneumococcal osteomyelitis of the humerus in an immunocompetent and otherwise healthy 44-year-old male patient presenting with minor inflammation signs and misleading clinical features.

Septic arthritis of the shoulder joint and resultant osteomyelitis of the proximal humerus can cause significant morbidity in terms of pain, loss of function and sequelae of infection (e.g. discharging sinuses).

2019年12月5日 · The incidence of haematogenous osteomyelitis, caused mainly by Staphylococcus aureus, remains very high in the humerus. Appropriate debridement and anti-infective therapy are able to resolve the infection in most patients; however, comorbidities are common and significantly affect patients’ function.

2019年12月5日 · Humeral chronic osteomyelitis can be treated with general surgery and anti-infective therapy; medullary (type I) infection presents a challenge, and the antibiotic-coated cement plate provides favourable fixation without increasing recurrence of infections.

Acute hematogenous osteomyelitis (AHO) has been noted mainly in open fractures injuring soft tissue immunological defenses and in immuneincompetent patients. Osteomyelitis complicating closed fractures in immunocompetent adult patients …

Osteomyelitis is a bone infection that happens when bacterial or fungal infections spread from other parts of your body into your bone marrow. It can be very serious and cause permanent bone damage, but it’s very manageable if you start treatment within a few days.

Osteomyelitis may occur as a result of a bacterial bloodstream infection, sometimes called bacteremia, or sepsis, that spreads to the bone. This type is most common in infants and children and usually affects their long bones like the femur (thighbone) or humerus (upper arm bone).

Osteomyelitis involving long bones like humerus is managed with intravenous antibiotics alone, when involving active pus discharge with dead sequestrum inside, surgical treatment is more promising and gives good results.

In this report, we aim to report our experience with one such case of an adolescent male with chronic osteomyelitis of humerus shaft caused due to lack of proper knowledge and facilities, and its treatment with bioabsorbable cement substitutes.

We report a case of acute osteomyelitis of shaft of humerus in an unpredisposed 50 year old male without any apparent source of infection following closed diaphyseal humeral fracture. Acute osteomyelitis was managed with antibiotics. However it later on complicated into chronic osteomyelitis which was treated with debridement and sequestrectomy.

A 64‐year‐old female presented with malaise and fever 11 days after a closed, minimally displaced humerus surgical neck fracture. MR imaging revealed an abscess around the fracture, which is a very rare occurrence in adults. Two open debridements ...
