Bone and Joint Infections is the first book to take a multidisciplinary approach to covering the causes and treatment of osteomyelitis and septic arthritis. Correct and rapid diagnosis of bone and joint infection requires the input of a variety of specialists, and Bone and Joint Infection takes a similarly collaborative and comprehensive approach, including chapters from a diverse group of clinicians, researchers, and surgeons.
Covering both the basic microbiology and clinical aspects of bone and joint infection, this book will be a valuable resource both for researchers in the lab and for physicians and surgeons seeking a comprehensive reference on osteomyelitis and septic arthritis.
