Aims

This case series aims to describe the clinical consequences of juxta-physeal sub-acute osteomyelitis in children, specifically growth and limb deformity.

Methods

All children diagnosed with osteomyelitis between 2014 and 2016 at a single University Teaching Hospital in the UK were included. Juxta-physeal sub-acute osteomyelitis was identified using magnetic resonance imaging obtained within 48-hours of presentation. These cases were followed up prospectively on a regular basis in the outpatient clinic. Any clinical evidence of limb or growth deformity was evaluated using long-leg standing radiographs.
