



Local factors: Cavity, Sequestrum, Sinus,
Foreign body, Degree of bone necrosis
General: Nutritional status of the involved
tissues, vascular disease, DM, low immunity
Organism: Virulence
Treatment: Appropriateness and compliance
Risk factors: Penetrating trauma, prosthesis,
Animal bite
Chronic Osteomyelitis
Types

A complication of acute Osteomyelitis

Post operative
Chronic Osteomyelitis
Clinical picture

Continuous or intermittent suppuration and
sinus formation with acute exacerbations.


Pathological fracture.
Chronic Osteomyelitis
Investigation
 Lab tests/ culture
 Plain X-ray:
Bone rarefaction surrounded by the dense
sclerosis, sequestration and cavity formation
 Sinogram

To detect chronic multifocal osteomyelitis
 CT Scan & MRI
 Biopsy

Pathological fractures
Growth disturbance
Amyloid disease

CHRONIC OSTEOMYELITIS





Sequel of acute/open fracture/opt.

Lab-raised ESR pus-cs
TREATMENT




Antibiotics.
Local treatment.
Operations.
After care.
TUBERCULOSIS

A surgeon could
gain experience in
the management of
TB. Of bone and
joint only if he
choose to work in
econmically less
developed countries.

1/3 population infected.
Over 80,000 people in Nepal have TB.
22,000 develop Pul. TB every year.
Total 50,000.
10,000 die of TB.
LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH.
1 – 3% skeletal TB
TB





Cause by Mycobacterium tuberculosis,
occasionally by M.bovis/africanum.
Also known as tubercle bacilli as they
produce lesion – tubercles.
Acid fast bacilli.
Transmission – airborne droplets.
Risk- extent of exposure to droplets and
susceptibility to infection.
TB Primary infection

Exposure to tubercle bacilli – Lungs –
multiplication of bacilli in terminal
alveoli (Ghon focus) – lymphatic drain it
to hilar lymph nodes – (PRIMARY
COMPLEX) – BLOOD – SPREAD.
TB




C/F:Cough >3wks.,sputum production,
weight loss, monoarticular.
Respiratory – haemoptysis, chest pain,
breathlesness.
Constitutional:fever/night sweat ,
tiredness , loss of appetite.
Physical sign: non specific,muscle
wasting, loss of ROM

3 days sputum.
Ziehl-Neelsen stain.
X-ray: cavitation, infilteration,
lymphadenopathy.
Full blood count:Relative lymphocytosis,^
ESR,Anemia.
Serology.
Lymphnode biopsy.
CT/ MRI
BONE TUBERCULOSIS



Spread from primary complex to any
bone/joints.
Can effect any bone but the weight
bearing bones are more likely to be
affected.
Spine –commonest, hip, knee , foot.

C/F:Back pain of variable duration, fever and
weight loss.
O/E: local tenderness, spasm, mild kyphosislate Gibbus, cold abscess and paraparesis.
DIAGNOSIS: XRAY-erosion of the anterior
edges of the superior and inferior boarders of
adjacent vertebral bodies with narrowing of
disc space.
USG :paravertebral abscess.
Biopsy/ CT scan
TB HIP



C/F: pain/limping, irritable hip –child. Gradual
loss of range of movement, flexion deformity,
wasting of thigh muscles.
Xray: both hip to compare.Early changes –
rarefaction of the bone and widening of the
joint space, later destruction of the joint.
Synovial bioposy.
TB KNEE / ANKLE.



C/F: pain and synovial swelling, muscle
wasting., contracture, draining sinuses.
X-ray.
Synovial biopsy.
PRINCIPLES OF
MANAGEMENT OF TB





General.
Rest, mobilization & brace.
Abscess, effusion & sinuses.
Antitubercular drugs.
surgery
TB PROBLEMS



Diagnosis.
Treatment .
Anti tuberculous drugs.
Tuberculous lesion






Resolve completely.
Complete healing with varying degree of
deformity / loss of function.
Lesion may be complete walled off and the
caseous tissue may calcified.
Persist as a low grade ch.fibromatous
granulating & caseating lesion.
Infection may spread.
Damage growth centre with shortening.
CONCLUSION



Slow progressive course of clinical symptoms
and radiological signs of tuberculosis creates
difficulty in early diagnosis.
Anti tuberculous treatment is effective but the
functional outcome depends on early
diagnosis before the development of
radiological evidence of joint destruction.
Always keep TB in D?Diagnosis
