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...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Osteitis pubis refers to a painful, inflammatory condition involving the pubic bones, pubic symphysis, and adjacent structures. So, the aims of the study were to evaluate the strength of trunk muscles of soccer players suffering from osteitis pubis, and to compare the agonist/antagonist ratio of trunk muscles in osteitis pubis athletes with that of healthy athletes. ...

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.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of condensing osteitis lesions in Eastern Anatolian Turkish population. About condensing osteitis lesions, these were evaluated; sex, localization, side, age, shape and status of involved teeth (caries, restoration etc.). Methods: This retrospective study was carried out using panoramic radiographs of 962 patients who came to for...

A mechanistic link has been suggested between cam-type femoroacetabular impingement and increased stress on the symphysis pubis. This retrospective study was conducted to determine whether there is an increased prevalence of osteitis pubis, as evidenced by imaging, in patients with femoroacetabular impingement compared with age-matched control subjects. Search of a radiologic database of a larg...

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 ...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Bacterial biofilms (BBF) and osteitis are potential contributors to the local inflammatory load in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). This study investigated the relationship between BBF and osteitis status in CRS patients. STUDY DESIGN Prospective cohort study. METHODS Eighty-four CRS patients undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery and 22 control patients were enrolled in thi...

This paper is concerned with the observations made on 212 cases of acute haematogenous osteitis admitted to one of the surgical units of the Royal Hospital for Sick Children, Glasgow, during the years 1936 to 1950. The term osteitis is preferred to osteomyelitis because the bone marrow plays only a small part in bone suppuration (Nowicki 1931, Romanis and Mitchiner 1932, \Vhite 1937, and Dennis...
