Abstract
Hematogenous osteomyelitis is still a common disease, accounting for 6-10% of all pyoinflammatory diseases [3], while the incidence varies from 0.3 to 0.75 per 1000 child population. The proportion of complications of acute hematogenous osteomyelitis (CSO) in the structure of purulent-septic diseases ranges from 8.6 to 12%, in the structure of orthopedic pathology - from 3 to 6% [4]. Orthopedic complications (dislocations, deformities, shortening, contractures and ankylosis of large joints) are observed in 31–71% of cases [5]. In children, the severity of the disease in the long term is aggravated by the defeat of the metaepiphyseal zones, which leads to a violation of the further formation of the musculoskeletal system [1, 2, 23].
