The management of pathologic fractures (PF) following osteomyelitis (especially acute subtype) has not been widely investigated. This is challenging due to the infection-induced destructive process causing bone architecture defects. Therefore, this study aims to assess a stepwise treatment plan for the acute incidence of PF in long bone following pediatric acute Hematogenous osteomyelitis(AHO) (the most common mechanism in children). This case series was conducted in a tertiary pediatric center. Patients with fracture incidence within the first 10 days after AHO diagnosis were included. Patients’ characteristics were retrospectively reviewed.Introduction
