According to many authors, the incidence of osteomyelitis in the world is increasing, doubling its rate between the 1960s and the 2010s. Despite the growing number of publications in this area, this disease still represents a major challenge for orthopedists around the world. This study aimed to highlight the continued importance and utility of plain radiography as a rapid, cost-effective, and readily accessible examination in the diagnostic process. Our study shows that radiographic findings in chronic osteomyelitis were universally observed in all patients studied, demonstrating a high degree of concordance among specialists. #osteomyelitis, #boneinfection, #musculoskeletaldisorders https://lnkd.in/ez7ypaqK

8moWonderful read!! We definitely see a rise in Chronic Osteomyelitis in clinical practice. India shows a slow progressive rise in cases and about 50% of the cases have radiographic findings . The rise in Chronic Osteomyelitis is directly proportional to poor clinical suspicion as well as delay in medical care . The rise of Diabetes and the rise of Road Traffic Accidents are probable causes . An X Ray of the involved limb is a basic investigation that must be made mandatory for early diagnosis.
