| Core Tip |
Haematogenous osteomyelitis is an extremely rare disease in adults. Even rarer are pathological fractures that occur as a result. We present a clinical case in which a 46-year-old patient developed haematogenous osteomyelitis after pneumonia. Both femurs were damaged, but the right one was preserved thanks to the preventive built-in AO external fixation. The left thigh was amputated and the signs of osteomyelitis did not recur. The pathogen that caused this insidious disease, Anaerococcus prevotii, has not been reported in the literature as a cause of osteomyelitis. Moreover, there are no reported cases of osteomyelitis affecting both femurs at once. |
