Autogenous Fibula Grafting of a Radial Defect Complicating Acute Hematogenous Osteomyelitis in An Infant

Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 3

Abstract

Osteomyelitis is an inflammation of bone caused by a pyogenic organism. Historically, osteomyelitis has been categorized as acute, subacute or chronic, with the presentation of each type based on the time of disease onset (i.e., occurrence of infection or injury). Acute osteomyelitis develops within two weeks after disease onset, subacute osteomyelitis within one to several months and chronic osteomyelitis after a few months. Because osteomyelitis is a complex disease state, various classification systems have emerged beyond the general categories of acute, sub acute and chronic. The Waldvogel classification system1–3 divides osteomyelitis into the categories of hematogenous, contiguous and chronic.
