Osteomyelitis is probably as old as mankind itself. The 500,000-year-old femur of the Java man (Pithecanthropus erectus) shows disease alterations that are consistent with a fracture complicated by osteomyelitis.1 Descriptions of "purulent bones" with various methods of treatment including splinting, application of bandages and compresses, and burning are contained in the Smith Papyri (5000-3000 B.C.) and ancient Hindu and Chinese writings.1 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
