Acute Osteomyelitis

Doctor for Acute Osteomyelitis Treatment in Indore

Acute osteomyelitis is a severe bone infection caused by bacteria, typically Staphylococcus aureus, that affects the bone marrow, surrounding tissues, and joints. It commonly occurs in children and adolescents, with the long bones of the arms and legs being most frequently affected. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent complications such as bone destruction, joint damage, and systemic spread of infection.

Treatment

Treatment for acute osteomyelitis usually involves a combination of intravenous antibiotics, surgical debridement (removal of infected tissue), and drainage of abscesses if present. The choice of antibiotics depends on the suspected causative organism and may be adjusted based on culture and sensitivity results. Surgery may be necessary to remove dead or infected bone tissue and promote healing. Pain management and physical therapy may also be part of the treatment plan to alleviate discomfort and restore function.

Frequently Asked Questions

Symptoms may include localized bone pain, swelling, redness, warmth, fever, chills, fatigue, and difficulty moving the affected limb.

Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination, blood tests, imaging studies (such as X-rays, MRI, or bone scans), and sometimes bone biopsy for culture and sensitivity testing.

Risk factors include recent trauma or surgery, underlying medical conditions (such as diabetes or sickle cell disease), compromised immune system, intravenous drug use, and prosthetic joint implants.

With early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, most patients recover fully without long-term complications. However, delayed treatment can lead to chronic osteomyelitis, bone deformities, joint damage, and systemic spread of infection.
