摘要: OSTEOMYELITIS of the pelvis has a sparse bibliography, probably because its relative infrequency in general orthopaedics. Froener (1889) istated that less than 10%/ cases occured series 545 acute osteomyelitis; Butler (1940) gives an incidence 8% 500 osteomyelitis seen at London Hospital. Von Bergmann (1906) found 63 ilium 71 pelvis. Krasnobajiv (1925), Simmons (1915), Bearse (1923), Flickinger (1927) and Buosanti (1924) each give between 2% 7%. Young (1934), his review ilium, to which he added three own, stated "acute pubis ischium is so rare it hardly necessary consideration". His paper last comprehensive pelvic osteomyelitis, but referred only ilium. This concerns diagnosis lin 18 patients Orthopaedic Departments Royal Infirmary Childrens' Hospital Sheffield 1948 1964.
