title: [Osteomyelitis today--diagnostic imaging and therapy].
abstract: Plain radiography, bone scan and especially in infants sonography belong to the primary imaging methods for posttraumatic osteomyelitis. For further diagnostic check up of osteomyelitis CT, MRI and leukocyte scintigraphy are excellent methods. Treatment of posttraumatic osteomyelitis is today a combination of operation, local and systemic antibiotic therapy.
