case_images: (a) Left shoulder lesion at initial presentation. Notable
  cavitation, erythema, and purulence are seen. (b) Left shoulder lesion
  recurrence following a previous open irrigation and debridement.

case_images: Three years before presentation, the patient developed left shoulder and periscapular pain, erythema, and swelling that progressed to an open, draining lesion that was treated at an outside institution (Figs. 1-3).
case_images: (a) Left periscapular region following extensive irrigation and
  debridement of the initial scapular lesion. A negative pressure wound
  therapy system can be seen placed in the defect created following
  debridement. (b) Left periscapular region following extensive irrigation and
  debridement and split thickness skin grafting for final closure.

case_images: Three years before presentation, the patient developed left shoulder and periscapular pain, erythema, and swelling that progressed to an open, draining lesion that was treated at an outside institution (Figs. 1-3). The lesion progressed and ultimately led to the development of osteomyelitis of the scapula and a septic left glenohumeral joint that resulted in placement of a left shoulder antibiotic-impregnated articulating spacer (Fig. 3).
case_images: Clinical appearance of the patient's bilateral wrists at (a) terminal pronation and (b) neutral. The bilateral wrists demonstrate
  profound edema and erythema over the dorsum of the wrists. A draining defect
  is appreciable over the ulnar dorsum of the left hand.

case_images: There was a 5 mm by 5 mm open lesion overlying the dorsum of the left hand that drained straw-colored fluid (Fig. 4).
case_images: (a) Anteroposterior (AP) and (b) lateral radiographs of the patient's right wrist and hand demonstrate no osseous changes secondary to osteomyelitis.
  Significant edema can be appreciated in the soft tissues of the hand and
  wrist on lateral imaging.

case_images: Plain radiographs were unremarkable, while MRI of the bilateral hands demonstrated a heterogenous process predominantly surrounding the extensor tendon sheaths extending distal from the antebrachium to the level of the metacarpophalangeal joints, nearly completely replacing the dorsal soft tissues (Figs. 5-8).

case_images: Representative (a) axial and (b) sagittal views of the right wrist
  and hand demonstrate no osseous changes secondary to osteomyelitis on
  magnetic resonance imaging. Soft tissue edema is appreciable on the imaging.
