Abstract
|
|
|
|
The effects of acute hematogenous osteomyelitis vary with a patient’s age because of the differences in the blood supply and structure of the bone. In children older than 2 years of age, this process results in extensive abscess formation when both the endosteal and periosteal blood supply are destroyed. Thorough drainage of abscess cavity and removal of all dead or necrotic material are not always possible although large skin incision is made along the abscess. Authors successfully managed acute osteomyelitis of the tibia with extensive large abscess in a 11 year-old female, using minimal incisions and 4-mm endoscope.
