Rare cases of epiphyseal osteomyelitis

We present two cases of primary acute epiphyseal osteomyelitis we managed at our hospital. Primary acute epiphyseal osteomyelitis is very rare and treatment is usually delayed owing to its subtle symptoms and inconsistent laboratory reports. But in our cases with the help of prompt MRI imaging, the diagnosis was made in time and the appropriate treatment was given thus avoiding the physeal plate injury.
