CAUSES OF ACUTE HEMATOGENOUS EPIPHYSEAL OSTEOMYELITIS IN INFANTS (literature review).

Abstract

The review article analyzes the literature reflecting the current views of acute hematogenous epiphyseal osteomyelitis in children, as well as the methods of diagnosis and treatment of the disease proposed by various authors. The modern problem of acute hematogenous osteomyelitis in young children is due to the severity of this purulent-septic pathology, with the continuing difficulty of early diagnosis, and poor treatment results. The study of the literature showed that the issues of the pathogenesis of the disease have been studied quite well, however, the methods of examination and surgical treatment proposed by the authors are still controversial. Based on the analysis of literature data and the results of our own research, the main etiological factors and risk factors that determine and predetermine the complex of local destructive and systemic metabolic disorders in OA in young children are presented.
