ABSTRACT
This is a Consensus Document of the Spanish Society of Paediatric Infectious Diseases (Sociedad Española de Infectología Pediatrica), Spanish Society of Paediatric Rheumatology (Sociedad Española de Reumatología Pediátrica) and the Spanish Society of Paediatric Orthopaedics (Sociedad Española de Ortopedia Pediátrica), on the treatment of uncomplicated acute osteomyelitis and septic arthritis. A review is presented on the medical and surgical treatment of acute osteoarticular infection, defined as a process with less than 14 days of symptomatology, uncomplicated and community-acquired. The different possible options are evaluated based on the best available scientific knowledge, and a number of evidence-based recommendations for clinical practice are provided.

This is a Consensus Document of the Sociedad Española de Infectología Pediátrica, Sociedad Española de Reumatología Pediátrica and Sociedad Española de Ortopedia Pediátrica on the aetiology and diagnosis of uncomplicated acute osteomyelitis and septic arthritis. A review is presented of the aetiopathogenesis and pathophysiology of acute osteoarticular infection defined as a process with less than 14 days of symptomatology, uncomplicated, and community-acquired. The diagnostic approach to these conditions is summarised based on the best available scientific knowledge. Based on this evidence, a number of recommendations for clinical practice are provided.

La prevalencia de las displasias óseas se calcula en un caso por cada 1.000 habitantes, lo que evidencia que, en algún momento de la trayectoria profesional de un especialista en cirugía ortopédica, se encontrará ante un paciente afecto por ellas. El objetivo de este trabajo es revisar los aspectos generales de las displasias óseas y centrarnos en las que, por su frecuencia e importancia, hemos considerado más destacadas (acondroplasia, displasia epifisaria múltiple, displasia espondiloepifisaria y osteogénesis imperfecta), revisando sus características fundamentales y los últimos avances terapéuticos. No existe tratamiento curativo para estas enfermedades, por lo que el diagnóstico precoz y el manejo terapéutico adecuado se convierten en la clave para mejorar la calidad de vida de estos pacientes (AU)
The prevalence of bone dysplasias is estimated to be one case per 1,000 inhabitants, which suggests that, at some point in the career of an orthopaedic surgeon, he will face with one of these patients. The aim of this paper is to review the general aspects of bone dysplasias and focus on those, which due to their frequency and importance, we consider most relevant (achondroplasia, multiple epiphyseal dysplasia, spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, osteogenesis imperfecta), reviewing their fundamental features and the latest therapeutic advances. There is no cure for these diseases, so early diagnosis and appropriate therapeutic management, becomes the key to improving quality of life of these patients (AU)
