Report and commentary on a series of cases of "acute osteomyelitis"
(1) That osteomyelitis is in most cases primarily a disease of the metaphyseal region of the long bones. (2) That there is frequently a history of trauma, and pre-existing septic foci; but in many cases it may be impossible to trace the real origin of the infection. (3) That the systemic and local …
