Brodie’s Abscess Of The Distal Tibia: A Case Study Analysis

Abstract

Brodie’s abscess is a condition involved with a localised osteomyelitis and a collection in the metaphysis of the long bones, mainly
seen in the distal tibia area among male children. The aim of the study is to analyse relevant case studies of brodie’s abscess of the
distal tibia and the treatment methods for complete recovery without long-term recurrence. The study uses a thematic analytical
approach to analyse the case studies involving the surgical treatments of a 17year and 12-year-old male and a 14-year-old female to
indicate that surgical management with or without antibiotics is the most successful treatment. Use of radiology for diagnostic
analysis is also discussed along with a detailed description of the methods of surgery.
