Background
- Inflammation of the bone which involves the medullary cavity, in comparison to osteitis (a distinction made on MRI but not clinically relevant)
- Classified by:
- Acute osteomyelitis (1 to 2 weeks) versus chronic osteomyelitis (3 to 6 months), though this classification is not necessarily helpful
- Etiology and location, including the presence of orthopedic hardware or joint prosthesis
- Cierny-Mader classification based on area of bone involvement1
- Type I: medullary
- Type II: superficial
- Type III: localized
- Type IV: diffuse
- Immune status and frailty of host
Microbiology
- Based on 2
| Species | Upper Extremity | Vertebral | Lower Extremity PJI | Trauma of Fracture | Hematogenous | Foot and Ankle | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gram-positive bacteria | Staphylococcus aureus | 10-40% | 15-60% | 20-30% | 20-40% | 40% | 45-55% |
| Coagulase-negative staphylococci | 10-20% | 5-40% | 25-35% | 10-40% | <5% | <5% | |
| Streptococcus species | 5-10% | 5-10% | <5% | 5-10% | 5-10% | 5-20% | |
| Enterococcus species | <5% | 5-15% | <5% | 5% | <5% | 5% | |
| Diphtheroids | <5% | 5% | <5% | 5% | <5% | <5% | |
| Cutibacterium acnes | 30-50% in shoulder | 10-15% spinal fusion | |||||
| Gram-negative bacteria | Overall | 5-10% | 10-40% | 5-10% | 20% | 10-15% | 35-55% |
| Pseudomonas species | <5% | 5-10% | <5% | 5-10% | 5-10% | 10-20% | |
| Enterobacteriaceae | <5% | 10-20% | <5% | 5-20% | 5% | 10-15% | |
| HACEK group | <5% | <5% | <5% | <5% | <5% | <5% | |
| Polymicrobial bacteria | 10-25% | 15-30% | 10-20% | 20-30% | 20 | 30-80% | |
| Fungi | <5% | <5% | <5% | <5% | <5% | <5% | |
- Polymicrobial infections are more common in trauma-related OM, PJI, and diabetic foot infections
- Poorer outcomes
- Commonly involves Staphylococcus aureus iwht a mix of other bacteria
Diagnosis
- Bone biopsy for histology and culture is the gold standard
- However, diagnosis is usually made based on a combination of physical exam, lab tests, and imaging
- Physical exam findings: fever, constitutional symptoms, sinus tract, joint pain and swelling, cellulitis at the site
- Blood tests: elevated WBC or CRP, positive blood cultures
- Novel tests: alpha-defensin, D-dimer, synolvial IL-6, and synovial CRP
- Imaging: MRI is the most sensitive; can also use bone scan and labelled WBC scan, or plain film x-ray or CT (if more chronic)
Management
- No clinically meaningful differences in bone penetration between classes of antibiotics exist3
- Bioavailability likely still important
- Empiric antimicrobials should generally cover MRSA, susceptible Gram-positives, and common Gram-negatives
- For example, vancomycin plus ceftriaxone

OVIVA Trial
- Oral therapy non-inferior to intravenous therapy for bone and joint infections requiring 6+ weeks of therapy4
- Patients were randomized after at least 7 days of appropriate IV antibiotics
- Oral regimens included fluoroquinolones (41%), combination with ciprofloxacin/clindamycin or ciprofloxacin/doxycycline (14%), beta lactams (15%), macrolides or lincosamides (11%), tetracyclines (9%), and other antibiotics (9%)
