Abstract
A 12-year-old boy developed acute epiphyseal osteomyelitis of the distal radius following a fall. Despite a delay of 6days for the diagnosis, the patient was successfully treated with surgery and antibiotics. Clinical examination, complete blood count, erythrocyte sediment rate were crucial for the differential diagnosis, and intraoperative findings were the definitive diagnosis.
