Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of infection, inflammations, and infarctions as they affect the musculoskeletal system. The objective is to present an overview so that each of these entities is not repeated in other chapters. Discussion centers on osteomyelitis, pyomyositis, cellulitis, fascitis, and infarction. MRI is emphasized for infections and tumors.
