This is an infection of the bone that can occur after fractures, surgeries, or wounds near the bone, usually caused by bacteria.It is more common in people with weakened immune systems, diabetes, open fractures (where the bone is exposed to the outside environment), or following surgery.

The main symptoms of osteomyelitis or fracture-related infections include:

Localized pain in the affected area
Redness, warmth, and swelling
Persistent drainage from surgical wounds
