Bad to the Bone
Bugs Not Welcome!
Treat Me Kindly
It's Complicated
"Is it a tumaw?"
100
Staphylococcus aureus
What is the organism associated with pressure ulcer, penetrating wound, open fracture, orthopedic surgery, and vascular insufficiency disorder?
100
In this method, infecting organisms often affect growing bone in males under age 12.
What is indirect, or hematogenous, entry?
100
This is the treatment of choice for acute osteomyelitis, as long as bone death has not occurred, and any cultures or biopsies have already been obtained.
What is long-term IV antibiotic therapy?
100
This occurs when the organism responsible for osteomyelitis enters the bloodstream.
What is sepsis (septicemia)?
100
This childhood tumor is characterized by presence of a hard, painless mass, sore muscles near tumor site, the child's height < normal for age, or pressure with irritation of tissues adjacent to the tumor.
What is osteochondroma?
200
Staphylococus epidermidis
What is the organism associated with an indwelling prosthetic device?
200
In adults, indirect entry is more common in patients with these infectious processes.
What are diabetes mellitus, and genitourinary or respiratory infections?
200
Long term antibiotic therapy (>6-8 weeks) may require insertion of either of these IV delivery devices.
What is a Mid-line catheter or Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC)?
200
This is an infection of the surface of the cartilage that lines the joint and the synovial fluid that lubricates the joint. 
What is septic arthritis?
200
This tumor occurs in adults aged 20 - 40, is non-cancerous and benign, developing at the ends of long bones.
What is osteoclastoma?
300
Streptococcus viridans
What is the organism associated with an abscessed tooth or gingival disease?
300
This method of microorganism entry can occur at any age through an open wound or in the presence of a prosthetic device.
What is direct entry?
300
This therapeutic option increases barometric pressure to stimulate circulation to the affected tissue, promoting antibiotic activity.
What is hyperbaric O2 therapy?
300
This complication has been attributed to inadequate immobilization during acute phase (osteomyelitis) when involucrum formation was inadequate or was due to ill advised manipulation.
What is pathologic fracture?
300
This benign tumor affects children aged 10 - 20, often found unilaterally in a hand or foot.
What is an endochroma?
400
Pseudomonas sp.
What is the organism associated with puncture wounds and / or IV drug use?
400
This is the result of increased pressure from a bone infection, causing the bone to de-vascularise and necrose. This devitalised bone separates from the surrounding living bone.
What is sequestra?
400
This suction device withdraws toxins and exudate, essentially debriding a lesion from the inside out.
What is a suction irrigation or negative pressure (wound vac) system?
400
This term refers to a variety of conditions in which amyloid proteins are abnormally deposited in organs and/or tissues
What is amyloidosis?
400
This malignant cancer affects children and young adults, typically male, aged 10 - 25. It is aggressive and painful, occurring in the metaphysis of long bones.
What is osteosarcoma?
500
Fungi, mycobacterium
What organisms are associated with an immunocompromised host?
500
This narrow section of long bone contains the growth plate. Circulation slows here and organisms lodge along this section.
What is the metaphysis?
500
This last-resort surgical approach to managing infection is often in response to an extensive infectious process and/or ischemic tissue, unresponsive to incrementally aggressive treatment, and posing a threat to life.
What is amputation?
500
this may occur in the presence of metastatic bone tumors, resulting in impaired neurological function distal to the lesion.
What is vertebral compression fracture?
500
This is the second most common malignant bone tumor in children and young adult, typically < 30 years old, and rapidly grows in the medullary cavity of long bones evidenced by progressive swelling, pain, and a palpable soft mass.
What is Ewing's sarcoma?
