OSTEOMYELITIS OF ILIUM (PROBABLY TUBERCULOUS)

Case Report

CLARENCE A. RYAN 1 and ROBERT V. FUNSTON 1

1 Orthopaedic Service, Wm. H. Maybury Sanatorium (City of Detroit Department of Health), Detroit, Michigan

Onset: December 1923.

Treatment started: March 1925.

Abscess formation: April 1925.

Casts: January 1926 to May 1927, December 1927 to April 1928.

Brace: April 1928.

Heliotherapy: July 1925 to July 1928.

Discharged: July 1928.

Last examination: March 1929.

This case is reported as probably tuberculous, though we do not have any laboratory proof to offer in substantiation of the diagnosis. The history, physical findings, x-ray, and course of the disease were all typical of a tuberculous process so that we feel justified in making that diagnosis.

The case is reported because of the rarity with which tuberculosis of the ilium is encountered.
