Epiphyseal Brodie's abscesses represent a rare, slow-progressing form of osteomyelitis that contrasts with the more aggressive types of infection typically seen in bone. These abscesses develop from a low-grade infection and progress gradually, posing unique challenges for treatment due to their proximity to the growth plate and joint structures. While the literature on managing epiphyseal Brodie's abscesses is limited, common treatments include antibiotics and surgical drainage.

Introduction: Brodie's abscess is one type of subacute osteomyelitis without any sequestrum or any systemic illness. Thorough debridement and removal of sclerotic rim are the mainstay of the treatment. Antibiotic-impregnated calcium sulfate (AICS) beads act as osteoconductive and at the same time, it maintains high antibiotic concentration locally.

Introduction: Brodie's abscess is a form of localized sub-acute osteomyelitis that rarely occurs in the humerus. Its diagnosis stems from clinical, laboratory, and imaging findings, especially magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The current paper describes the first case in the literature of humeral paddle Brodie's abscess.
