Bone Infection, or osteomyelitis, is a serious condition characterized by inflammation and infection within the bone. It can result from bacteria entering the bone through the bloodstream, nearby tissues, or open fractures. Common symptoms include localized pain, swelling, redness, and fever. Diagnosis involves imaging studies such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRI, as well as blood tests to identify the causative organism. Treatment typically requires a combination of antibiotics and, in some cases, surgical intervention to drain abscesses or remove infected tissue. Risk factors for Bone Infection include open fractures, compromised immune systems, and the presence of prosthetic joints. Chronic osteomyelitis may necessitate prolonged antibiotic therapy and multiple surgeries. Early detection and prompt treatment are crucial to prevent the spread of infection and long-term complications. A multidisciplinary approach involving infectious disease specialists and orthopaedic surgeons is often required for optimal management. Supportive care and rehabilitation may be necessary to restore normal bone function post-treatment.
