OM Flashcards
OM is the infection of?
bone and any of its components
T/F, primarily only bacterial?
F, can also be viral, fungal, parasitic
what are the types of OM?
hematogenous, acute
hematogenous, chronic
direct inoculation/extension
predisposing factors?
immunocompromised DM PAD IVDU sickle cell disease inflammatory joint diseases prosthetic joints open fractures
infection in blood stream
acute and chronic
children-highly vascular metaphyseal long bones (tibia, fibula)
elderly-vertebral involvement in those older and IVDU
hematogenous OM
pathogens that can cause hematogenous OM?
newborn-staph aureus
child, adult-same as above
immunocompromised-candida, asperigillus
IVDU-pseudomonas
sickle cell-salmonella
name this OM
infectious pathogen accesses bone secondary to a nearby localized infectious source from trauma
direct extension OM
most important consideration about direct extension OM?
polymicrobial in the DM, immunocompromised
puncture wound through a shoe:pseudomonas
important considerations of subacute OM?
Brodie’s abscess
common in tibia
lytic lesions
imaging characteristics of chronic OM?
sequestrum
involucrum
cloaca
triad of causation for OM?
neuropathy
trauma
deformity
what is the progression to major infection?
3 stages
arterial circulation that is inadequate to confine the infection
profound neuropathy
more aggressive bacterial superinfection
what is OM diagnosis based on?
clinical labs radiographic findings -XR, MRI, CT, nuclear med bone biopsy
how does OM present clinically?
is probe to bone indicated?
erythema, edema, calor localized tenderness with palpation soft tissue infection decreased ROM febrile malaise
yes, use probe to reach bone, if so possible infection
what is the OM diagnosis?
consider chronicity
-wound present for 2 days with +PTB
-wound present for 2 months with +PTB
