Osteomyelitis is inflammation or swelling that occurs in the bone.

Osteomyelitis is more common in younger children (five and under) but can happen at any age.

Acute osteomyelitis is the clinical term for a new infection in bone. This infection occurs predominantly in children and is often seeded hematogenously. In adults, osteomyelitis is usually a subacute or chronic infection that develops secondary to an open injury to bone and surrounding soft tissue.Jun 15, 2001

Osteomyelitis is an infection and inflammation of the bone. It can happen when a bacterial or fungal infection enters a bone from the bloodstream or surrounding tissue. Trauma to the skin, possibly from surgery, may be involved. Osteomyelitis may develop quickly or over time.
Hematogenous osteomyelitis is the most frequent type and primarily affects the metaphysis because the bacteria travel through vascular tunnels and adhere to the bone matrix. Animal models show that bone infection becomes more likely after trauma.
