Managing Bone and Joint Infection in Children
Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is an inflammatory condition with recurrent, sterile, lytic lesions often in the clavicle, humerus and tubular bones. Lesions may occur recurrently in the same site or at different sites at the same time. Diagnosis is by persistence or recurrence of lesions despite adequate antibiotic treatment, supported by MRI which provides characteristic imaging in established disease.
