Book Chapter
Bacterial Osteomyelitis: The Clinician's Point of View
2013
Overview
Bacterial osteomyelitis implicates inflammation of the bone and bone marrow. All implant infections have an osteitis component, since the implant itself is inert to microorganisms. Many experts advocate that if the bone is infected, it may remain infected throughout life and even beyond unless amputation is performed. This chapter talks about epidemiology, and pathogenesis under which osseous modification, biofilm, and neutrophil defects, are described. It also talks about surgical treatment, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy, among others, for the treatment of Osteomyelitis. Diabetic foot osteomyelitis and arthroplasty‐related osteomyelitis, are two of the various special features of osteomyelitis discussed in the chapter. It is very difficult to evaluate osteomyelitis in small clinical studies or single centers. Sample size and international definitions need to be improved and more prospective and multicenter cohort studies performed to broaden and advance current knowledge.
