The spectrum of musculoskeletal infection has changed in the last 40 years with the introduction of antibiotics on the one hand and radical new operative possibilities for bone and joint disease on the other. This reference monograph reviews current ideas of epidemiology, pathology and management and emphasizes unanswered problems and how they may be addressed. Orthopaedic surgeons, rheumatologists, paediatricians and general physicians will find it an invaluable source of information.
