Abstract
Surgical treatment of acute hematogenous osteomyelitis of the calcaneus is uncommon in the literature. Laboratory considerations to aid diagnosis as well as methods of diagnosis, surgical intervention, and management with a review of the literature are presented. A case of a 10-year-old female with acute hematogenous osteomyelitis of the calcaneus treated by surgical drainage, bone biopsy, and management with 12-month follow-up is discussed.
