Overview

Two classification schemes are currently used. Lew and Waldvogel classify osteomyelitis according to duration and mechanism of infection: hematogenouos osteomyelitis, contiguous-focus osteomyelitis, and osteomyeltis secondary to vascular insufficiency. Cierny and Mader classify osteomyelitis according to anatomy of bone infection and host physiology. This systems classifies the location of infection into 4 stages and the host's physiology into 3 levels of compromise.

Classification

There are many types of classification schemes exist for osteomyelitis:

  • Lew and Waldvogel classify osteomyelitis according to duration and mechanism of infection (traditional classification)[1]
  • Cierny and Mader classify osteomyelitis according to anatomy of bone infection and host physiology[2]
  • The Cierny and Mader system offers a guide to treatment

Classification based on symptom chronology

Lew and Waldvogel Etiologic System

Mechanism of Infection Description
Hematogenous Osteomyelitis Osteomyelitis develops after bacteremia
Contiguous-focus Osteomyelitis Direct inoculation of bone via trauma/fracture, surgery, prosthetic devices, or spread from soft tissue
Osteomyelitis Secondary to Vascular Insufficiency Reduced blood supply, usually in diabetic patients

Cierny and Mader Staging System

Classification Description
Anotomic Type Stage 1 Medullary osteomyeltitis: infection confined to the intramedullary bone surfaces
Stage 2 Superficial osteomyelitis: true contiguous infection (bone surface undergoes necrosis at the base of a soft tissue wound)
Stage 3 Localized osteomyelitis: full-thickness, cortical sequestration
Stage 4 Diffuse osteomyelitis: through-and-through process requiring intercalary reconstruction of bone
Physiological Class A Host Normal physiological, metabolic, and immunologic states
B Host Local compromise, systemic compromise, or both
C Host Morbidity of treatment is worse than disease
