A study of bone and joint changes secondary to burns

Osteomyelitis in burn children: Ten years of experience

“…Reports found in the bibliography are scarce and cover series that included few cases. 1 In our study, osteomyelitis incidence was 2%, which is consistent with other reported series. 1 The pathogenic mechanisms of osteomyelitis in burn patients are different from those in healthy hosts.…”

“…1 In our study, osteomyelitis incidence was 2%, which is consistent with other reported series. 1 The pathogenic mechanisms of osteomyelitis in burn patients are different from those in healthy hosts. Deep burns with exposure of the underlying musculoskeletal structures and electrical burns lead to thrombosis in the periosteal nutrient vessels with bone tissue necrosis and contiguous infection.…”

“…1 The extent of the burn surface area and burn depth, together with exposure of the structures beneath the skin, are predisposing factors. 1,2 The clinical manifestations are subtle and differ from those of healthy hosts. An early diagnosis and treatment of this entity are critical to prevent related functional sequelae.…”

“…An early diagnosis and treatment of this entity are critical to prevent related functional sequelae. 1 The experience in pediatrics with osteomyelitis is scarce and limited to series that included few cases.…”

Opioid treatment for mixed pain in pediatric patients assisted by the Palliative Care team. Five years of experience

“…1,2 Two types of pain have been described based on their pathophysiological mechanism: nociceptive and neuropathic. In nociceptive pain, a tissue injury activates nociceptors, and it may be classified into somatic or visceral.…”
