Osteomyelitis

Introduction

Hello and welcome to our case on Osteomyelitis.

This is an important topic within both Orthopaedics and Medicine as you are highly likely to encounter a patient with active osteomyelitis in your career.

The early detection, recognition of severity and management is key to ensuring good outcomes for your patients.

Often-times these patients are a challenge to manage and the earlier you recognise and treat OM the better their outcomes will be.
