  • Title: Acute osteomyelitis complicating a closed radial fracture in a child. A case report.
    Author: Veranis N, Laliotis N, Vlachos E.
    Journal: Acta Orthop Scand; 1992 Jun; 63(3):341-2. PubMed ID: 1609605.
    Abstract:
    Development of osteomyelitis in a closed fracture is very rare. Although it has been reported that trivial trauma may be associated with the subsequent development of acute osteomyelitis, Waldovel et al. (1970) found no evidence that fractures were involved in the etiology of osteomyelitis. We report a case in which the infection, after a closed fracture involved both metaphyses and the diaphysis of the radius.
