  • Title: Infectious arthritis and osteomyelitis.
    Author: Schmid FR.
    Journal: Prim Care; 1984 Jun; 11(2):295-306. PubMed ID: 6566362.
    Abstract:
    Awareness of the possibility of sepsis constitutes the single most important step needed to effectively diagnose and treat a bone or joint infection. Once suspected, the diagnosis can usually be confirmed by identification of the causative microorganism. Treatment can be curative but requires prompt use of appropriate antibiotics and adequate drainage to achieve optimal results, that is, the restoration of the preinfectious level of musculoskeletal function.
