Clinical features and outcomes in children with bone and joint infections of the ankle or foot.

CONCLUSION: Physicians should be aware that pediatric BJIs of the lower limb may involve the foot and ankle. S. aureus is frequently involved. In cases of osteomyelitis, complications are closely associated with subperiosteal abscesses justifying an early diagnosis. These BJIs must be treated rapidly, and the risk of sequelae justifies long-term follow-up. PMID: 33011034 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
