    Author: Kaushik K, Pundkare GT, Tawde A, A K.
    Journal: Cureus; 2024 Feb; 16(2):e54034. PubMed ID: 38481893.
    Abstract:
    To explore a rare case of Garre's osteomyelitis in an adult, typically observed in children, and detail its diagnostic and treatment approach, we conducted a case study of a 40-year-old male presenting with persistent right tibial pain. Through diagnostic procedures, including radiography and MRI, a broad differential diagnosis was established. Histopathological examination post-surgical intervention confirmed Garre's osteomyelitis. The treatment, which included corticotomy debridement, saucerization, ceramic granules insertion, and targeted antibiotic therapy, resulted in significant improvement over one year. This case underscores the importance of considering Garre's osteomyelitis in the differential diagnoses of chronic tibial lesions in adults and highlights the necessity of a comprehensive diagnostic and treatment approach in managing such rare cases, thus contributing valuable insights to orthopedic practice and literature.
