case_images: By day 2, clinical improvement was observed, allowing progressive closure (Figure 2).
case_images: Deep abscess in contact with the periosteum of the distal end of the radius (A), altered, indicative of osteomyelitis (magnetic resonance imagery with gadolinium:T2 coronal section) and salter-harris type II fracture of the distal radius and osteolytic gaps (B) in the metaphyseal area (CT scan).

case_images: Despite persistent pain and the inability to close the wound, a magnetic resonance imagery with gadolinium on day 12 revealed osteomyelitis (Figure 3A). A subsequent computed tomography scan confirmed a Salter 2 distal radius fracture (Figure 3B).
