Abstract: The term osteomyelitis encompasses a wide group of infectious diseases involving the disease of the bone and/or bone marrow further extending to periosteum. It is a disturbing disease and involves a series of causative host and pathogen factors. The primary cause of this disease is usually taught to be microbiological especially Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermis.

“…Any part of the bone may be involved but there is preferential targeting of metaphyseal regions of long bones adjacent to joints [7], the case in our patient was typical of this. Like this case, the usual means of infection is by the haematogenous spread through the bone marrow to the cortex, although direct introduction may complicate trauma or orthopaedic surgery, or may arise from radiation therapy [7] [8].…”

“…It may involve any part but metaphysis of long bone, preferentially adjacent to joints. 5 Bacterial osteomyelitis of the scapula is rare in paediatric patients, with frequency varying from 0.5% to 2.6%. 6 Diagnosing osteomyelitis in children with SCD may be extremely difficult, as they mostly present with fever, pain, swollen, tender limb, with decreased range of motion.…”
