Abstract:
Acute osteomyelitis following a closed fracture is very rare. Only one case has been reported that trivial trauma (contusion) may be associated with the subsequent development of acute osteomyelitis in Korea. Authors report an acute osteomyelitis in the shaft of the femur after closed fracture in a child.
