Introduction: We present a series of children with lower limb Brodie's abscesses (subacute osteomyelitis) with subsequent deformities.Method: A retrospective examination of the paediatric bone and joint infection database from 2014-2017 was performed. All children have MRI scans and blood tests including full blood count, ESR and CRP. MRI identified collections were drained surgically.Results: There were 68 children with bone and joint infections, and 6 had a Brodie's abscess. 4 Brodie's abscesses were adjacent to a growth plate, all these had resultant growth deformities. Some deformities develop up to 3 years after initial presentation.Discussion: We recommend long-term vigilance for growth deformity after a Brodie's abscess. In particular we demonstrate that infection can result in stimulation of the physis, as opposed to growth retardation as generally accepted.\n                    <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.7150\/jbji.37266","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,8]],"date-time":"2019-11-08T01:09:56Z","timestamp":1573175396000},"page":"264-267","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Brodie's Abscesses Can Stimulate the Growth Plate in Children"],"prefix":"10.5194","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"Patricia Garcia","family":"Pulido","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrew","family":"Hotchen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ashwin","family":"Gojanur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"James","family":"Corbett","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kuldeep K","family":"Stohr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"3145","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Brodie BC.
