(osteomyelitis)

DEPT ORTHOPAEDIC & TRAUMATOLOGY


Types of organism
•Pyogenic osteomyelitis or arthritis
•Chronic granulomatous reaction
•Fungal infection
•Parasitic infestation
Route of Infection
 Hematogenous system
 Direct invasion: Open Fx,
operation, skin puncture
 Direct spreading
Acute Hematogenous
Osteomyelitis
Acute Hematogenous
Osteomyelitis
• Common in children
• Adult – lowered resistance by drug: immunosuppressive drug,
debility disease: DM, AIDS
- more common in vertebrae than long bone
• Post-trauma: hematoma or fluid collection in bone
Pathogenesis

Source of Infection

Blood stream

Metaphysis

Venous stasis

Bacterial colonization
Etiology
Aerobic organisms
-Gram positive : Staphylococcus aureus ,
Streptococcus pyogens
Streptococcus pneumoniae
-Gram negative : Haemophilus influenza,
E.coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa,
Proteus mirabilis,
Anaerobic organisms
Bacteroides fragilis
Pathology
 Inflammation
 Suppuration
 Necrosis
 New bone formation
 Resolution
Inflammation
• First 24 hours
• Vascular congestion
• Polymorphonuclear leukocyte infiltration
• Exudation
• Intraosseus pressure  intense pain
 intravascular thrombosis 
ischemia
Suppuration
 2-3 days
 Pus formation
 Subperiosteal abscess
via Volkmann canals
 Pus spreading
 epiphysis
 joint
 medullary cavity
 soft tissue
Necrosis
• Bone death by the end of a week
• Bone destruction ← toxin
← ischemia
• Epiphyseal plate injury
• Sequestrum formation
• small  removed by macrophage,osteoclast.
• large  remained
New bone formation
• By the end of 2nd week
• Involucrum (new bone formation from deep
layer of periosteum ) surround infected tissue.
• If infection persist- pus discharge through
sinus to skin surface Chronic osteomyelitis
Resolution
Antibiotics Surgical drainage

Infection is controlled

Bone remodeling
Resolution
• Infection is controlled
• Intraosseous pressure release
• With healing – new bone formation + periosteal reaction  bone
thickening and sclerosis
• Remodeling to normal contour or deformity
Infection persist

Chronic drainage

Chronic Osteomyelitis

Drowsy
Irritable
Fails to thrive
Metaphyseal tenderness and resistance to joint movement
Signs and Symptoms in child

Severe pain
Malaise

escape from bone
Lymphadenopathy
Acute osteomyelitis in adult

1.Uncommon
2.History of DM.
3.Immunosuppressive drug
4.Drug addict
5.Elderly patients.
Signs and Symptoms in adult

Fever
Pain
Inflammation
Acute tenderness
Common site is thoraco-
lumbar spine
Radiographic studies

rarefaction, area of lytic and sclerotic


lesion, sequestrum and involucrum.
Bone Scan
 99m TC-HDP - sensitive
- not specific
 67 Ga-citrate or 111 In-labeled
leukocyte more specific
MRI

pus & blood


Aspiration pus
 confirm diagnosis
 smear for cell and organism
 culture and sensitivity test
Investigations
 CBC
 ESR
 Hemoculture positive ~ 50%
 Antistaphylococcal antibody titer (in doubtful case)
Differential diagnosis
 Cellulitis
 Acute suppurative arthritis
 Acute rheumatism
 Gaucher’s disease – Pseudo- osteitis, resembling
osteomyelitis, enlargement of spleen and liver.
Because of predisposing to infection, antibiotics
should be given.
 Sickle-cell crisis – mimic osteomyelitis, in
endemic area of Salmonella, it is wise to treat with
antibiotics until infection is excluded
Treatment for acute
osteomyelitis
 Supportive treatment
 Splint
 Antibiotic therapy
 Surgical drainage
Supportive treatment

 Analgesics
 Correction of dehydration
Splint

-Plaster slab
-traction
-Prevent joint contracture
Surgical drainage

 Early treatment no need surgery


 Late treatment surgical drainage about 1/3 of cases. If pus
found and release no need to drill bone. But drilling one or two holes if
no obvious abscess.
Antibiotics
Initial antibiotics “ BEST GUESS ”
- according to smear findings
- according to incidences , age.
Proper antibiotics
- according to culture and sensitivities test
Guideline for initial antibiotics
Age Pathogen Drugs
1.Older children and -Staphylococcal - Fluclaxocillin and
previously fit adults infection fusidic acid IV 3-4 day
oral 3-6 wks
2.Children <4 years -Gram neg. infection -2nd generation
-Haemophilus Cephalosporins or
infection Amoxycillin with
clavulanic acid

3.Sickle-cell patient -Salmonella infection - Co-trimoxazole


- Amoxycillin with
clavulanic acid
4.Heroin addicts and -Unusual infection : -3rd or newer generation
immuno-compromised pseudomonas , Cephalosporins
patients proteus, bacteroides
Acute osteomyelitis
•When infection subside, movement is
encourage. Walk with crutches and full
weight bearing is possible after 3-4
weeks.
Complication
 lethal outcome – rare
 metastatic infection (multifocal
infection)
 suppurative arthritis
 very young patient
 metaphysis is intracapsular
 metastatic infection
Complication
 altered bone growth
 chronic osteomyelitis
- delay diagnosis and treatment
- debilitated patients
- compromised host
Chronic Osteomyelitis
Chronic osteomyelitis
• Sequel to acute hematogenous osteomyelitis
• Usual organisms are staph. aureus, Escherichia coli, Strep. pyogens,
Proteus and Pseudomonas (always mixed infections)
• In the presence of foreign implants : Staph. Epidermidis is the
commonest pathogen.
Pathology of chronic osteomyelitis

• Bone is destroyed in a discrete area or diffuse


• Cavities containing pus and sequestrum are surrounded by vascular bone
and sclerosis bone resulted from reactive new bone formation
• Sequestra, foreign implants act as substrates for bacterial adhesion,
ensuring the persistence of infection and sinus drainage
• Pathological fracture
Signs and Symptoms of chronic
osteomyelitis
•Pain
•Pyrexia
•Redness
•Tenderness
•Draining sinus
•Excoriation of skin
Radiographic study
• A patchy loss of bone density with thickening and sclerosis of the
surrounding bone
• Sequestra : dense fragment in contrast to surrounding vascularized
bone
• Sinogram may help to localize the site of infection
Sequestrum
Radioisotope scanning
• 99m TC-HDP Up take
• 67 Ga-citrate or 111In-labelled
leukocyte more specific
CT – Scan and MRI
• Show extent of bone destruction
and reactive edema, hidden abscess
and sequestrum
• Pre-op planning investigation
Other Investigations
•CBC
•ESR
•Antistayphylococcal antibody titers – Dx
hidden infection and tracking progress to
recovery
•C/S from draining discharge R/O
resistance bacteria
Treatment for chronic
osteomyelitis
•Medical treatment
•Local treatment
•Surgical treatment
Antibiotics
• To stop spreading of infection
• To control acute flare
• Capable of penetrating sclerotic bone and non-toxic to body
Surgical treatment
•Sequestrectomy :
sulphan blue stained
only vital tissue
•Continuous irrigation 3-
6 weeks.
•Gentamicin beads
Space filling techniques
• Papineau technique (Papineau et al 1979)
• Muscle flap + skin graft (Fitzgerald et al 1985)
• Myocutaneous island flap. (Yoshimura et al 1989)
Prognosis
•Local trauma must be avoided
•Any recurrent of symptoms should be
taken seriously and investigated
Acute Suppurative Arthritis

Route of infection
1. direct invasion
2. eruption of a bone abscess
3. hematogenous spreading
Causal Organisms
• Staphylococcus aureus
• Hemophilus influenza
• E. coli
• Streptococcus
• Proteus
Oganism

Synovial membrane
Acute inflammatory
reaction

Seropurulent exudate pus

Bacterial enzyme Synovial enzyme

Joint destruction
Septic Arthritis
TB Arthritis
Signs and symptoms in newborn

• Clinical of septicemia : irritable, refuses to feed, rapid pulse


• Joint swelling
• Tenderness and resistance to movement of the joint
• Look for umbilical infection
Signs and symptoms
in children

• acute pain in single joint : hip.


• Pseudoparesis.
• Swelling and inflammation of the joint.
• Child looks ill.
• Limit movement of the joint.
• Look for a source of infection : toe, boil, otitis media
Signs and symptoms in adult

• Often superficial joint : knee, wrist, ankle


• Pain
• Swelling and inflammation
• Restricted movement
• Examined for gonococcal infection or drug abuse.
Radiographic study
Early : usually normal , joint space may seem to be widened
(because of fluid in the joint)
Late : osteoporosis ,narrowing and irregularity of the joint apace.
with E. coli infection there is sometime gas in the joint
Investigation
• CBC
• ESR
• Gram stain of synovial fluid
• C/S
Differential diagnosis
•Acute osteomyelitis: in children
indistinguishable from septic joint
•Trauma: traumatic synovitis
•Irritable joint : the patient does not look
ill
•Hemophilic bleeding
•Rheumatic fever
•Gout and pseudogout
Treatment of septic arthritis
• Supportive care : analgesics, fluid
supplement , splint, traction
• Antibiotics
: same as acute osteomyelitis
• Drainage
: Aspiration, arthrotomy
Treatment of septic arthritis

• Once the conditions improved, if the articular cartilage is preserved –


gentle and gradually increasing active motion
• If articular cartilage is destroyed – the joint is immobilized in optimal
position until ankylosis is sound
Outcome After Healing
• Complete resolution
• Partial loss articular cartilage and fibrosis of joint.
• Loss of articular cartilage and bony ankylosis
• Bone destruction and permanent deformity of the joint.
Complication
•Cartilage destruction
•Growth disturbance
•Bone destruction
