The incidence of humeral osteomyelitis is relatively rare as compared to incidence of lower limb osteomyelitis. Despite having no guideline in the management of humeral osteomyelitis, surgeons have utilised their experience in managing lower limb osteomyelitis to treat humeral osteomyelitis. By adhering to principles including thorough debridement of necrotic bone and soft tissue, staged bony and/or soft tissue reconstruction, and targeted antimicrobial therapy, a good outcome can be achieved in the management of humeral osteomyelitis. We report a case of Cierny-Mader type IV proximal humeral osteomyelitis after a severe crush injury of the left shoulder and its subsequent two-stage reconstruction using internal fixation and pedicled Latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap.

J Am Acad Orthop Surg
January 2025
From the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL (Yeager, Rutz, Strother, Spitler, and Johnson), and the Heersink School of Medicine, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL (Gross, Benson, and Carter).
Introduction: Postoperative infections are a leading cause of morbidity following fracture repair. The purpose of this study is to develop a risk score predicting fracture-related infection (FRI) that will require one versus multiple revision surgeries related to infection eradication and bone healing.
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study conducted at a single level I trauma center from 2013 to 2020.
Osteomyelitis and Septic Arthritis of the Upper Extremity in Pediatric Patients.
Curr Rev Musculoskelet Med
December 2024
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, CA, USA.
Purpose Of Review: For pediatric osteomyelitis and septic arthritis, 10-24% of cases occur in the upper extremity (UE). Due to delays in presentation and diagnosis, UE infections are often more complex and severe than infections of the lower extremity (LE). This review evaluates the literature from the past 6 years related to pediatric osteomyelitis and septic arthritis of the UE and provides a guide for professionals managing these conditions in children.

Article Synopsis
- Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is a rare, inflammatory bone disease that causes multiple lytic lesions without infection, with no established treatment protocols.
- A 12-year-old boy with a long history of non-infectious osteomyelitis showed stability on naproxen and methotrexate, but developed new symptoms in his elbow after 1.5 years.
- The patient's treatment was modified to include intravenous zoledronic acid, leading to significant clinical and radiological improvement, marking the first documented use of this treatment for CRMO in Iraq and Arab nations.
