During the past 30 years there has been much contradictory literature on haematogenous osteitis in infancy (Thomson and Lewis, 1950). In infancy the disease differs in so many respects from osteitis in older children that a separate consideration of haematogenous osteitis in children under 2 years of age is desirable. Even in this limited age group we must consider the disease under two heading...

Dry socket, or alveolar osteitis, can occur because of the removal of teeth. No clear etiology has been acknowledged; however, numerous risk factors have been proposed and tested. We report on the results of a prospective, multicenter study of the incidence and factors affecting the occurrence of alveolar osteitis at the Royal Dental Hospital of Melbourne and Community Dental Clinics in Melbour...

Arthro-osteitis at the anterior chest wall was found in 12 (9.4%) out of 128 consecutive patients with pustulosis palmaris et plantaris. This finding indicates that the concomitance of arthro-osteitis with PPP is not incidental but is based on some common aetiological factor. We propose a term ;pustulotic arthro-osteitis' for this condition.

One form of renal osteodystrophy secondary to chronic renal failure is the osteitis fibrosa cystica, which is the complication of secondary hyperparathyroidism. Osteitis fibrosa cystica is a histologically benign, tumor-like lesion of bones. Since early diagnosis and treatment of hyperparathyroidism is available nowadays, the development of osteitis fibrosa cystica has become rare. It can only ...

Chronic groin pain is a common symptom in the football and hockey codes. Although there is a large differential diagnosis, this review focuses upon the peri-pubic causes of isolated groin pain (pubalgia). Publications that included a hypothesis of the cause of pubalgia were reviewed. The competing views were that pubalgia arises from a single pathology, multiple unrelated pathologies, and multi...

It has previously been shown that being of aboriginal descent is a risk factor for hamstring injuries in Australian football. The aim of this study was to review the Australian Football League (AFL) injury database to determine whether there were any injuries where indigenous players had different relative risks to non-indigenous players. Analysis was conducted using data from the AFL injury da...
