Abstract
In addition to a thorough history and physical examination, a complete set of laboratory studies and diagnostic imaging is necessary to reach an accurate diagnosis. The inability to bear weight, elevated C-reactive protein levels, and an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate are associated with bacterial infection. Magnetic resonance imaging is a useful imaging modality in determining an accurate diagnosis.
