What is the hematogenous source of Osteomyelitis?
- Staph aureus (gram + organisms)
- Gram - rods
What are three broad sources of getting osteomyelitis?
- Hematogenous (monomicrobial)
- Contiguous spread (periodontal)
- Direct inoculation (result of trauma or surgery)
What location of the body do we see hematogenous osteomylitis in children?
-long bones
What location of the body do we see hematogenous osteomyelitis in adults?
-Vertebrae
What is sequestra?
-Separated dead bone
In the anatomic classification of osteomyelitis what is Stage 1?
-Medullary
In the anatomic classification of osteomyelitis what is stage 2?
-Superficial (involves only the cortical bone)
In the anatomic classification of osteomyelitis what is stage 3?
-Localized (involves both cortical and medullary bone, but doesn’t involve the entire diameter of the bone)
In the anatomic classification of osteomyelitis what is stage 4?
-Diffuse (involve the entire thickness of the bone)
If you have infection prior to development of sequestra do you have acute or chronic osteomyelitis?
-Acute
If you have an acute classification of osteomyelitis what is the time frame you have to be in?
-Less than 2 weeks
If you have an infection after sequestra have formed to you have acute or chronic osteomyelitis?
-Chronic
What are three hallmarks that you find in chronic osteomyelitis?
- Formation of involucrum (new bone development)
- Bone loss
- Sinus tract formation
If you have chronic osteomyelitis can you treat it with antibiotics alone?
-No it will also require surgery
What are the acute clinical presentations of osteomyelitis?
- Gradual onset over several days
- Dull pain/local tenderness on exam
- Warmth, erythema, swelling, fevers may happen
