Preface
Osteomyelitis is an infection of the bone Osteomyelitis develops when staphylococcus bacteria
enters the bone either through the blood stream oras a result of an injury.
Although bone is normally resistant to bacterialcolonization, events such as trauma, surgery,
presence of foreign bodies, or prostheses maydisrupt bony integrity and lead to the onset of boneinfection. When prosthetic joints are associated withinfection, microorganisms typically grow in biofilm,which protects bacteria from antimicrobial treatmentand the host immune response.
The major cause of bone infections is Staphylococcusaureus.
When biofilm microorganisms are involved, as injoint prostheses, a combination of rifampicin withother antibiotics might be necessary for treatment.2

Definition
Osteomyelitis is an infection in abone. Infections can reach a bone bytraveling through the bloodstream orspreading from nearby tissue.Osteomyelitis can also begin in thebone itself if an injury exposes thebone to germs.
-

Epidemiology
Approximately 20% of adult cases of osteomyelitis arehematogenous, which is more common in males for unknownreasons. Acute hematogenous osteomyelitis is decreasing inincidence, whereas the incidence of osteomyelitis due to directinoculation or contiguous focus of infection is increasing. Thisis attributed to the increase in both trauma (due to motor
vehicle accidents) and orthopedic surgical procedures. Osteomyelitis secondary to open fractures occurs in 3% to
25% of cases, usually in young men in their twenties andthirties.
Vertebral osteomyelitis is responsible for 2% to 4% of allcases of osteomyelitis, with an annual incidence of 5.3 cases
per million persons. Men are more commonly affected thanwomen, with a mean age at presentation of 61 years
Foot ulcers occur in 2% of patients with diabetes every year,15% of whom will develop osteomyelitis. Recurrent infectionoccurs in up to 36% of patients with diabetes.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Bone is normally resistant to infection. However, when microorganisms are introduced into bone
hematogenously from surrounding structures or from directinoculation related to surgery or trauma, osteomyelitis can occur.
Bone infection may result from the treatment of trauma, whichallows pathogens to enter bone and proliferate in the traumatized
tissue. When bone infection persists for months, the resultinginfection is referred to as chronic osteomyelitis (depicted in theimage below) and may be polymicrobial. Although all bones aresubject to infection, the lower extremity is most commonlyinvolved.
Some important factors in the pathogenesis of osteomyelitisinclude the virulence of the infecting organism, underlying
disease, immune status of the host, and the type, location, andvascularity of the bone.
Bacteria may possess various factors that may contribute to thedevelopment of osteomyelitis. For example, factors promoted by Saureus may promote bacterial adherence, resistance to hostdefense mechanism, and proteolytic activity.

Staging (Cierny-Mader)
Stage 1 Disease involves medullary bone and is usually caused by a single
organism.
Stage 2 Disease involves the surfaces of bones and may occur with deep soft-
tissue wounds or ulcers.
Stage 3 Disease is an advanced local infection of bone and soft tissue that often
results from a polymicrobially infected intramedullary rod or openfracture.
Stage 3 osteomyelitis often responds well to limited surgical interventionthat preserves bony stability.
Stage 4
Osteomyelitis represents extensive disease involving multiple bony andsoft tissue layers.
This stage is complex and requires a combination of medical andsurgical therapies, with postsurgical stabilization as an essential part oftherapy.

Clinical Manifestation
The classic signs of inflammation, includinglocal pain, swelling, or redness, may alsooccur and normally disappear within 5-7 days.
Fever, chills, fatigue, lethargy, or irritability On physical examination, scars or local
disturbance of wound healing may be notedalong with the cardinal signs of inflammation. Range of motion, deformity, and local signs of
impaired vascularity are also sought in theinvolved extremity. If periosteal tissues areinvolved, point tenderness may be present.

Laboratory Studies
Complete blood cell count A complete blood cell (CBC) count is useful for
evaluating leukocytosis and anemia.
Leukocytosis is common in acute osteomyelitis before therapy.The leukocyte count rarely exceeds 15,000/L acutely and isusually normal in chronic osteomyelitis.
Erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein levels areusually increased.
Culture Blood cultures are positive in only 50% of cases of osteomyelitis.
They should be obtained before or at least 48 hours afterantibiotic treatment. Although sinus tract cultures do not predict
the presence of gram-negative organisms, they are helpful forconfirming S aureus.
Bone biopsy leads to a definitive diagnosis by isolation ofpathogens directly from the bone lesion.

Imaging Studies
Radiography Conventional radiography is the initial imaging study
at presentation of acute osteomyelitis. It is helpful tointerpret current and old radiographs together.Radiographic findings include periosteal thickening orelevation, as well as cortical thickening, sclerosis, andirregularity.
Ultrasonography The presence of fluid collection adjacent to the bone
without intervening soft tissue usually suggestsosteomyelitis. Other findings on ultrasonographyinclude elevation and thickening of the periosteum

Imaging Studies
CT scanning CT is useful for guiding needle biopsies in closed
infections and for preoperative planning to detectosseous abnormalities, foreign bodies, or necroticbone and soft tissue.
MRI MRI is a very useful modality in detecting
osteomyelitis and gauging the success of therapybecause of high sensitivity and excellent spatialresolution. The extent and location of osteomyelitis is
demonstrated along with pathologic changes of bonemarrow and soft tissue.
MRI shows a localized marrow abnormality inosteomyelitis.

Diagnostic Procedure
Open bone biopsy with histopathologic examination andculture is the criterion standard for the microbiologicdiagnosis of osteomyelitis.
This procedure may not be necessary if blood culturesare positive with consistent radiologic findings.
Needle biopsy may also be used to obtain bone foranalysis. When clinical suspicion is high with negative
blood cultures and needle biopsy, a repeat needle biopsyor open biopsy should be performed. A bone sample can be collected at the time of
debridement for histopathologic diagnosis in patientswith compromised vasculature.

Therapy
Medical Clindamycin, rifampin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and
fluoroquinolones.
Surgery
Surgery is indicated when the patient has not responded tospecific antimicrobial treatment.
The Cierny-Mader classification system plays an importantrole in guiding treatment. As described above, stage 1 and2 disease usually do not require surgical treatment,whereas stage 3 and 4 respond well to surgical treatment.
Operative treatment consists of adequate drainage,extensive debridement of necrotic tissue, management ofdead space, adequate soft-tissue coverage, andrestoration of blood supply.

Complication
Pin-tract infections and cellulitis,Flexion contractures above and below
the frame,
Limb edema, and
Bone fragment rotation withmalunion.
The most common complication in
children with osteomyelitis isrecurrence of bone infection.
-
7/30/2019 Non Union Fracture
53/73
Prognosis
Inadequate therapy may lead to relapsinginfection and progression to chronicinfection.
Because of the avascularity of bone, chronicosteomyelitis is curable only with radical
resection or amputation. These chronic infections may recur as acuteexacerbations, which can be suppressed bydebridement followed by parenteral and oralantimicrobial therapy.
Rare complications of bone infection includepathologic fractures, secondary amyloidosis,and squamous cell carcinoma at the sinustract cutaneous orifice.

55/73
Definition
A femoral fracture is a break in thethigh bone, which is called the femur.The femur bone is also known as thethigh bone. It runs from the hip to the
knee and is the longest and strongestbone in the body. It usually requires agreat deal of force to break the femur.
-
7/30/2019 Non Union Fracture
56/73
Fractures of the femur are commonand may affect the femoral neck, thefemoral shaft or distal(supracondylar) femur, which often
also involve the knee joint.Fractures of the femoral neck are far
more common in the elderly butfractures of the femoral shaft and
supracondylar fractures are usuallycaused by violent trauma and mostoften occur in adolescents and youngadults.
-
7/30/2019 Non Union Fracture
57/73
Causes
High energy trauma Motor vehicle trauma (eg, motorcycle accidents, motor vehicle
accidents, plane crashes, pedestrian car accidents)
Falls (eg, from height: mountain climbing, abseiling, workplaceaccidents)
Sports (eg, high-speed and contact sports with direct trauma,
skiing, downhill mountain bike riding) Gunshot wounds
Low energy trauma People who have decreased bone density due to osteoporosis.
Elderly women are at greatest risk of this.
People who have had cancer that has spread to the bones
People who have been on long term corticosteroids. This has theeffect of decreasing bone density leading to weaker bones.
-
7/30/2019 Non Union Fracture
58/73
Causes
Stress fractures The third way to fracture the femur is through
repetitive trauma.
This occurs most commonly in athletes
undergoing heavy training or military recruits.It is more common in women, particularly inwomen who are not menstruating. It is rare tohave a stress fracture affecting the lower part
of the femur. Most stress fractures of the femur affect the
mid shaft area.
-

Types of Femoral Shaft Fractures
Transverse fracture In this type of fracture, the break is a straight
horizontal line going across the femoral shaft.
Oblique fracture This type of fracture has an angled line across the
shaft. Spiral fracture The fracture line encircles the shaft like the stripes on
a candy cane. A twisting force to the thigh causes thistype of fracture.
Comminuted fracture In this type of fracture, the bone has broken into three
or more pieces.

Symptom
Pain and swelling This will always be present in the instance of a
femoral fracture.
DeformityNumbness or weakness
Bruising or bleeding
In the case of a stress fracture, there willstill be pain and swelling but not deformity,bruising or nerve damage. The pain and
swelling will often come on gradually ratherthan immediately in the case of a fracturedue to an accident.

Clinical assessment
The first step in diagnosing any problemis to obtain a thorough history of theproblem.
An examination of the the whole lowerleg (ankle, knee, hip and pelvis) will be
carried out. As femoral fractures areoften caused by accidents involving alarge amount of force, other areas maybe damaged as well as the thigh bone.
The doctor will also assess whether the
nerves and blood vessels of the lowerlimb are working properly or whetherthey have been affected by the brokenbone.

IMAGING
X-rays
This is an important
first step in confirming
that a fracture ispresent, but also the
exact location and
extent of the damage.
-
7/30/2019 Non Union Fracture
64/73
IMAGING
CT scans CT scan may be necessary
to give the doctors a clearerpicture of the fracture.
This is particularly important
if surgery is required to fixthe broken bone.
The advantage of CT over X-ray is that it provides a 3Dimage of the leg and a moreaccurate picture of how far
the fracture has spread,particularly if it affects thejoint surfaces of the knee

IMAGING
Bone scan
This test may be
required if a stress
fracture is suspected. Bone scan is a more
accurate tool to
diagnose a stress
fracture.

TREATMENT
Non-surgical treatment Traction:
This involves pulling on the part of the bone below the
break to ensure that the two ends of the bone line up
and will heal without deformity. Casting and bracing:
If the two ends of the broken bones are lined up well, it
may be possible to simply apply a cast or a brace and
wait for the bones to mend of their own accord. This approach can only be taken if there is good
alignment of the bones following the break and there is
not multiple pieces of broken bones.

TREATMENT
Surgical TreatmentExternal fixation
This means that the bones are held in placeusing a metal frame that is outside the body
with pins that then penetrate the bones. Thisapproach is favoured where the fracture haslead to damage of the surrounding musclesand skin.
External fixation is often used to hold thebones together temporarily when the skin andmuscles have been injured.
-
7/30/2019 Non Union Fracture
69/73
TREATMENT
Internal fixation This approach means that the surgeon places
supports around the bone on the inside of the leg.
There are two main approaches used that come
under the category of internal fixation: Intramedullary nailing
This involves a specifically designed rod to be placedthrough the centre of the bone shaft. The rod will cross theline of the fracture and keep the two ends of the bonetogether.
Plates and screws This involves the use of metal plates and screws to hold
together the fragments of bone created by the fracture.

Complications specific to the type offemoral fracture
Distal femoral fracture Stiffness of the knee which may resolve very
slowly and may not fully resolve. Another way thistype of fracture can affect the knee is bypredisposing to osteoarthritis. This is most likely if
the fracture line passes into the joint, disruptingthe smooth layer of cartilage that lines the joint.
Mid shaft fracture ligament damage to the knee which may require
an operation in order to repair the damage
Mid shaft fractures in teenagers and children maysuffer leg length discrepancy where one leg islonger than the other.
