Primary subacute epiphyseal osteomyelitis

N E Green, R D Beauchamp, P P Griffin

    The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. American Volume
    |January 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Subacute osteomyelitis in children primarily affects the epiphysis, causing pain and limp. Prompt treatment with oxacillin leads to complete recovery without long-term joint or growth plate damage.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Orthopedics
    • Pediatric Infectious Diseases
    • Skeletal Radiology

    Background:

    • Primary subacute osteomyelitis can affect the epiphysis of long bones in children.
    • Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for optimal outcomes.

    Observation:

    • Eight children presented with epiphyseal osteomyelitis, exhibiting pain and limp.
    • Imaging revealed well-defined lytic lesions in the epiphysis, distinct from the metaphysis.
    • Lesions involved epiphyseal bone and approached articular cartilage without causing damage.

    Findings:

    • Histopathology confirmed osteomyelitis in all cases.
    • Cultures were sterile in six cases and grew Staphylococcus in two.
    • All patients treated with oxacillin achieved complete recovery.

    Implications:

    • Epiphyseal osteomyelitis in children is treatable with antibiotics.
    • Early intervention prevents damage to the physis and joint, ensuring normal growth and function.
    • This condition requires careful radiological and microbiological evaluation.
