The new osteomyelitis classification was worked out on the strength of treatment results of 361 patients. Four types of long bones lesions are marked out: medullar, superficial, focal and diffuse. The kind of surgical treatment is determined according to the lesion type. Authors worked out a modification of osteoplastic trepanation--a "grip-sack" technique, which is used for medullar and focal femoral and tibial osteomyelitis. Long term follow-up results are obtained in 271 (77,7%) cases. The developed classification eases the standardization of follow-up results and permits treatment planning.

Factors associated with treatment response in chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis at a single center: a retrospective cohort study.
Pediatr Rheumatol Online J

Division of Pediatric Rheumatology, Seattle Children's Hospital, 4800 Sand Point Way NE, Seattle, WA, 98105, USA.
Background: NSAIDs are commonly used as first line therapy in chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) but are not effective for all patients. The objective of this study was to identify clinical variables associated with NSAID monotherapy response versus requiring second-line medication in a single-center cohort of patients with CNO.
Methods: The charts of children with CNO who attended a CNO clinic at a quaternary care center between 1/1/05 and 7/31/21 were retrospectively reviewed.

Introduction: Intravenous drug use has a significant impact on oral and maxillofacial health, often resulting in complications like tooth loss and osteomyelitis. This study investigates the differences in oral health between drug users enrolled in replacement therapy and those not yet participating, with the goal of assessing the impact of structured treatment programs.
Aim: to evaluate and compare the prevalence of oral and maxillofacial complications among drug users involved in replacement therapy and those newly registering for treatment.

The standard treatment for chronic osteomyelitis after trauma is affected bone resection and bone and soft tissue defect reconstruction. However, few reports exist regarding chronic osteomyelitis after bone tumor surgery. We retrospectively reviewed five cases of chronic infection after bone tumor surgery, including their treatment strategy and clinical course.

Primary chronic osteomyelitis (PCO) is a rare non-bacterial autoinflammatory severe disease that most often affects children aged 7 to 12 years and is much less common in adults. The most common areas of lesion are long tubular bones, however, any bones of the skeleton, including the lower jaw, can be affected. The clinical picture of this disease is complex and similar to many tumor and tumor-like bone lesions, which often leads to a significant delay in making a correct diagnosis.

Computed tomography (CT) is increasingly recognized as superior to conventional imaging methods for diagnosing osteomyelitis in foals. However, comprehensive studies in this area are limited. This study aims to report on clinical cases of osteomyelitis in foals, establishing a relationship between CT findings and survival outcomes.
