Course overview
In this course, we dive deep into the complex world of bone, joint, and tissue infections, focusing on three major conditions: osteomyelitis, septic arthritis, and tissue infections.
Key highlights
This course explores the mechanisms by which these infections develop, the clinical situations that lead to them, and the microorganisms responsible for their occurrence.
Aimed at healthcare professionals and students specialising in orthopedics, infectious diseases, or internal medicine, this course will equip participants with the knowledge needed to diagnose, manage, and treat these infections in clinical settings.
What you will learn:
- The anatomy of bone, joint, and soft tissue infections
- How infections spread within the body
- The physiological response to infections and their impact on bones and tissues • Common bacterial pathogens, such as Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus species
- The role of fungi and other less common organisms
- How different pathogens influence infection severity and treatment protocols
The session will be conducted by Dr Dennis K. Bielecki, MD, Diagnostic Radiologist with a specialist in Musculoskeletal radiology. With over 30 years of experience in bone and joint radiology, Dr. Bielecki is a Senior Musculoskeletal (MSK) Specialist Radiologist at King’s College Hospital, one of the UK’s leading academic and research hospitals. He is also a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in Imaging Sciences at King’s College London, where he teaches and trains the future generation of radiologists, medical students, and radiographers. Dr. Bielecki trained in diagnostic imaging in the United States.
