The management of bone and joint infection.
Although infection of bone and joint does not occur frequently in the developed world, it is a serious condition when it occurs. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are necessary to minimize the later complications of chronic osteomyelitis and destruction of articular cartilage. Despite early diagnosis and treatment, damage to the articular cartilage or growth plate may already have occurred.
