Direct Inoculation

Bone and joint infections in children are uncommon, but they affect all ages and there is a wide range of disease. The mode of infection may be haematogenous or by direct inoculation from a wound. The child may present acutely unwell or with a chronic infection. Clinical features include fever, reluctance to move the affected limb, pain, and swelling. Laboratory tests and medical imaging are used to confirm diagnosis. Medical treatment is with initial intravenous antibiotic therapy, usually followed by oral treatment. Surgical treatment may be necessary if abscess or joint collection is present. In general prognosis is good with timely initiation of treatment, although complications such as pathological fracture are occasionally seen.
