摘要

Given the myriad of pathogens causing appendicular musculoskeletal infections and their various manifestations, adopting a systematic approach to the workup of appendicular musculoskeletal infection is crucial for diagnosis and expediting treatment. This chapter aims to provide diagnostic algorithms integrated from available guidelines, protocols, as well as our experience to assist the radiologist/clinician in approaching these infections in a methodical way.
