Abstract
Salmonella typhi osteomyelitis is an uncommon disease, usually associated with sickle cell anemia and other hemoglobinopathies, as well as with other disease states. In this case, Salmonella osteomyelitis was apparently caused by hematogenous spread after typhoid or enteric fever. After bone debridement, a segmental defect of the midradius resulted. Normal function was restored after radical debridement, intravenous antibiotics, and delayed tricortical iliac crest bone grafting of the segmental defect.
