Chronic osteomyelitis examined by CT

VW Wing, RB Jeffrey Jr, MP Federle, CA Helms and P Trafton

CT examination of 25 patients who had acute exacerbations of chronic osteomyelitis allowed for the correct identification of single or multiple sequestra in 14 surgical patients. Plain radiographs were equivocal for sequestra in seven of these patients, because the sequestra were too small or because diffuse bony sclerosis was present. CT also demonstrated a foreign body and five soft tissue abscesses not suspected on the basis of plain radiographs. CT studies, which helped guide the operative approach, were also useful in treating those patients whose plain radiographs were positive for sequestra. We review the potential role of CT in evaluating patients with chronic osteomyelitis.
