Abstract:
Surgical treatment of hematogenous osteomyelitis is uncommon in the literature. Indications for surgical decompression, along with a review of the literature, is presented. A case history of a 7-year-old male with hematogenous osteomyelitis of the first metatarsal treated by surgical decompression and 12-month follow-up is discussed.
