Diff between Endochondral and intramembranous formation
Endochondral formation: preformed cartilaginous model
Intramembranous formation: no cartilage model, bone laid directly on fibrous layer of mesenchyme
Define Osteomyelitis
Definitioin: inlfammation of bone
Etiology and MC cz of osteomyelitis + 2 other causes
Almost always dt infx
- MC= S. aureus
- Salmonella with SSD: if G(-)
- Blastomycosis and Histoplasmosis –> fungal osteomyelitis
CP of osteomyelitis

radiology of osteomyelitis
