OSTEOMYELITIS

Osteomyelitis is an infection of the bone. It can be caused by a variety of microbial agents (most common in staphylococcus aureus) and situations, including:
  • An open injury to the bone, such as an open fracture with the bone ends piercing the skin.
  • An infection from elsewhere in the body, such as pneumonia or a urinary tract infection that has spread to the bone through the blood (bacteremia, sepsis).
  • A minor trauma, which can lead to a blood clot around the bone and then a secondary infection from seeding of bacteria.
  • Bacteria in the bloodstream bacteremia (poor dentition), which is deposited in a focal (localized) area of the bone. This bacterial site in the bone then grows, resulting in destruction of the bone. However, new bone often forms around the site.
  • A chronic open wound or soft tissue infection can eventually extend down to the bone surface, leading to a secondary bone infection.
Osteomyelitis affects about two out of every 10,000 people. If left untreated, the infection can become chronic and cause a loss of blood supply to the affected bone. When this happens, it can lead to the eventual death of the bone tissue.
Osteomyelitis can affect both adults and children. The bacteria or fungus that can cause osteomyelitis, however, differs among age groups. In adults, osteomyelitis often affects the vertebrae and the pelvis. In children, osteomyelitis usually affects the adjacent ends of long bones. Long bones (bones of the limbs) are large, dense bones that provide strength, structure, and mobility. They include the femur and tibia in the legs and the humerus and radius in the arms.
Osteomyelitis does not occur more commonly in a particular race or gender. However, some people are more at risk for developing the disease, including:
  • People with diabetes
  • Patients receiving hemodialysis
  • People with weakened immune systems
  • People with sickle cell disease
  • Intravenous drug abusers
  • The elderly
Symptoms of osteomyelitis
The symptoms of osteomyelitis can include:
  • Pain and/or tenderness in the infected area
  • Swelling and warmth in the infected area
  • Fever
  • Nausea, secondarily from being ill with infection
  • General discomfort, uneasiness, or ill feeling
  • Drainage of pus through the skin
Additional symptoms that may be associated with this disease include:
  • Excessive sweating
  • Chills
  • Lower back pain (if the spine is involved)
  • Swelling of the ankles, feet, and legs
  • Changes in gait (walking pattern that is a painful, yielding a limp)
Diagnosing osteomyelitis
To diagnose osteomyelitis, the doctor will first perform a history, review of systems, and a complete physical examination. In doing so, the physician will look for signs or symptoms of soft tissue and bone tenderness and possibly swelling and redness. The doctor will also ask you to describe your symptoms and will evaluate your personal and family medical history. The doctor can then order any of the following tests to assist in confirming the diagnosis:
  • Blood tests: When testing the blood, measurements are taken to confirm an infection: a CBC (complete blood count), which will show if there is an increased white blood cell count; an ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate); and/or CRP (C-reactive protein) in the bloodstream, which detects and measures inflammation in the body.
  • Blood culture: A blood culture is a test used to detect bacteria. A sample of blood is taken and then placed into an environment that will support the growth of bacteria. By allowing the bacteria to grow, the infectious agent can then be identified and tested against different antibiotics in hopes of finding the most effective treatment.
  • Needle aspiration: During this test, a needle is used to remove a sample of fluid and cells from the vertebral space, or bony area. It is then sent to the lab to be evaluated by allowing the infectious agent to grow on media.
  • Biopsy: A biopsy (tissue sample) of the infected bone may be taken and tested for signs of an invading organism.
  • Bone scan: During this test, a small amount of Technetium-99 pyrophosphate, a radioactive material, is injected intravenously into the body. If the bone tissue is healthy, the material will spread in a uniform fashion. However, a tumor or infection in the bone will absorb the material and show an increased concentration of the radioactive material, which can be seen with a special camera that produces the images on a computer screen. The scan can help your doctor detect these abnormalities in their early stages, when X-ray findings may only show normal findings.
Treating and managing osteomyelitis
The objective of treating osteomyelitis is to eliminate the infection and prevent the development of chronic infection. Chronic osteomyelitis can lead to permanent deformity, possible fracture, and chronic problems, so it is important to treat the disease as soon as possible.
Drainage: If there is an open wound or abscess, it may be drained through a procedure called needle aspiration. In this procedure, a needle is inserted into the infected area and the fluid is withdrawn. For culturing to identify the bacteria, deep aspiration is preferred over often-unreliable surface swabs. Most pockets of infected fluid collections (pus pocket or abscess) are drained by open surgical procedures.
Medications: Prescribing antibiotics is the first step in treating osteomyelitis. Antibiotics help the body get rid of bacteria in the bloodstream that may otherwise re-infect the bone. The dosage and type of antibiotic prescribed depends on the type of bacteria present and the extent of infection. While antibiotics are often given intravenously, some are also very effective when given in an oral dosage. It is important to first identify the offending organism through blood cultures, aspiration, and biopsy so that the organism is not masked by an initial inappropriate dose of antibiotics. The preference is to first make attempts to do procedures (aspiration or bone biopsy) to identify the organisms prior to starting antibiotics.
Splinting or cast immobilization: This may be necessary to immobilize the affected bone and nearby joints in order to avoid further trauma and to help the area heal adequately and as quickly as possible. Splinting and cast immobilization are frequently done in children, although motion of joints after initial control is important to prevent stiffness and atrophy.

Surgery: Most well-established bone infections are managed through open surgical procedures during which the destroyed bone is scraped out. In the case of spinal abscesses, surgery is not performed unless there is compression of the spinal cord or nerve roots. Instead, patients with spinal osteomyelitis are given intravenous antibiotics. After surgery, antibiotics against the specific bacteria involved in the infection are then intensively administered during the hospital stay and for many weeks afterward.

With proper treatment, the outcome is usually good for osteomyelitis, although results tend to be worse for chronic osteomyelitis, even with surgery. Some cases of chronic osteomyelitis can be so resistant to treatment that amputation may be required; however, this is rare. Also, over many years, chronic infectious draining sites can evolve into a squamous-cell type of skin cancer; this, too, is rare. Any change in the nature of the chronic drainage, or change of the nature of the chronic drainage site, should be evaluated by a physician experienced in treating chronic bone infections. Because it is important that osteomyelitis receives prompt medical attention, people who are at a higher risk of developing osteomyelitis should call their doctors as soon as possible if any symptoms arise.

Treatment of Osteomyelitis

The treatment generally consists of surgical debridement (cleaning) of the infected bony and soft tissue structures, and the prolonged use of antibiotics. Until recently, these antibiotics have been given intravenously. Advances in oral antibiotic therapy have yielded newer agents that are able to penetrate into bone, and in many cases, are curative. This has markedly decreased the amount of hospitalization time needed for the osteomyelitis patient.
While oral agents may not have the same degree of success as intravenous antibiotics, certain elderly, debilitated or institutionalized patients might be ideal candidates for oral treatment. With either antibiotic regimen, however, complete surgical removal of the area is necessary to eradicate the infection.

Complications

Possible complications include septicemia (blood poisoning); destruction of the bone; the spreading of the infection to a nearby joint (possibly resulting in a permanent deformity); the spreading of the infection to the surface of the skin (where it erupts as an abscess); damage to the cartilage adjacent to the bone (which may retard bone growth); and suppurative (infectious) arthritis.

Chronic (long-term) osteomyelitis may be a delayed complication of acute (sudden onset) osteomyelitis, especially if it results from a fracture or the presence of a foreign body in the wound, such as a bullet or a piece of metallic debris.

The major sign of chronic osteomyelitis is a flare-up or reopening of an abscessed wound, with periodic pain and discharge of pus. X-rays show irregular bone and pieces of dead bone. Treatment for chronic osteomyelitis may require several operations to remove all the infected bone and other tissue, completely draining the abscess and repairing the bone when possible
