Abstract

Osteomyelitis Pubis is a rare condition that represents less than 2% of bone infections. It is not usually suspected and it can be misdiagnosed, as it can be mistaken for pubalgia that does not respond to treatment. This report may be useful to other traumatologists so as not to forget this extremely rare condition and reduce the cost of diagnosis and treatment.
