Dear all postgraduate orthopedic residents...
1st lesson of Orthopedics from my teacher I learnt....
There is nothing called cellulitis in an infant unless there is a wound.
It is osteomyelitis, unless proven otherwise. #orthotwitter
Pt from NICU with swelling and tenderness below knee. Diagnosed as cellulitis and some oral antibiotics given.
Xray was not informative.
The baby was home with a pus point formed in upper tibia, got an I & D by a local doc.
