Bone and joint infections are an important problem encountered in the care of orthopaedic patients. They vary in regard to pathogenesis, diagnostic investigation and treatment. They frequently result in high mortality rates. Early detection and treatment are paramount for optimal eradication of the infection. Treatment often involves a multidisciplinary approach including several specialists such as orthopaedic surgeons, infectious diseases specialists, plastics and vascular surgeons, as well as PRM physicians and physical therapists.
