Sažetak
Introduction: Infections of the musculoskeletal system can be divided into several basic groups depending on localization, duration and the presence of foreign material. Surgical infections increase the morbidity and mortality of patients, the financial cost of treatment, and represent a huge public health problem globally. Treatment of musculoskeletal infections can involve the use of antibiotics or surgery, and most often it is necessary to combine these two methods.
Aim: The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the musculoskeletal infections that orthopedic and trauma surgeons encounter in their work, along with an overview of the literature available on this topic.
Discussion: In the discussion, all infections of the musculoskeletal system are presented individually and the clinical presentation, diagnostics and modern treatment options are described for each.
Conclusion: We can conclude that all infections of the musculoskeletal system are potentially very serious conditions that, if not recognized and treated in time, can end in permanent disability, further hematogenous spread of bacteria and the development of sepsis, and even the death of the patient
