BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In elite athletes, osteitis pubis is a common painful degenerative process of the pubic symphysis and surrounding soft tissues and tendons. We report the diagnostic pathway and the rehabilitation protocol of six elite athletes with osteitis pubis in three different sports, and compare protocol stages and time to return to competition. METHODS 6 athletes (2 soccer, 2 bas...

BACKGROUND The treatment of infection-related delayed bone unions is still very challenging for the orthopedic surgeon. The prevalence of such infection-related types of osteitis is high in complex fractures, particularly in open fractures with extensive soft-tissue damage. The aim of this study was to develop a new animal model for delayed union due to osteitis. METHODS After randomization t...

Background. There are few data about the optimal drug regimen and duration of therapy for Bacillus Calmette-Guerein (BCG) osteitis. Methods. We searched Medline using terms: Mycobacterium bovis, immunization, BCG vaccine, osteitis, and bone diseases; infectious. Exclusion criteria were; non-English, single case report, intravesicular BCG, non-human subjects, and insufficient description of trea...

Osteitis condensans of the sternoclavicular joint was first described by Brower et al in 1974. It is a rare benign disorder primarily affecting women of child-bearing age. Persistent pain and swelling in the medial part of the clavicle are the most common presenting symptoms and may represent an inflammatory process in the joint among other proposed etiologies. Radiological findings include scl...

Osteitis pubis has been reported following pelvic surgery, childbirth and in athletes. We describe a case involving an elderly woman, in which none of the predisposing factors were present. Difficulties in diagnosis, with particular reference to the elderly, are highlighted.

ISSN 0001-5555 SAPHO syndrome is a rare condition of unknown pathogenesis originally described by Chamot et al. (1) in 1987. Onset usually occurs in young adults, with no differences between sexes and it is manifested by synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis and osteitis. Of paramount impor...

With advances in the treatment of patients with chronic renal failure, their life expectancy has increased. In turn, the prevalence of osteitis fibrosa cystica, a manifestation of secondary hyperparathyroidism, and beta2 microglobulin amyloidosis, a result of long-term haemodialysis, has risen. While both conditions share similar radiological features, their management is very different. We pre...

Septic diseases of the bone and immediately surrounding soft tissues can be differentiated into osteitis or osteomyelitis. Both are a most serious diagnosis in modern traumatology and orthopaedic surgery. The basis for treatment is a highly specific, problem-adapted therapy with a defined strategy, the paramount goal being to preserve the stable weightbearing bones, maintain a good mechanical a...
