ABSTRACT

Osteomyelitis is a common pediatric musculoskeletal infection most commonly caused by Staphylococcus aureus. This infection can weaken the normal bone structure, resulting in the risk of a pathologic fracture. The hematogenous spreading leads to a multi-focal type of infection that carries untoward complications. With early diagnose and treatment, the illness can be treated and the functional results will be very satisfactory.
