Background: Pelvic osteomyelitis is a bacterial infection of the pelvine skeleton. Apart from rare haematogen diffusion, it can occur after pelvic trauma or operation. Furthermore, it exists a sterile osteitis pubis after repetitive periostial microtrauma. Chronic progressions are possible.
The correct code to assign is M86. 95 Unspecified osteomyelitis, pelvic region and thigh.
Osteomyelitis is inflammation or swelling that occurs in the bone. It can result from an infection somewhere else in the body that has spread to the bone, or it can start in the bone — often as a result of an injury. Osteomyelitis is more common in younger children (five and under) but can happen at any age.
Chronic osteomyelitis represents a progressive inflammatory process caused by pathogens, resulting in bone destruction and sequestrum formation. It may present with periods of quiescence of variable duration, whereas its occurrence, type, severity and prognosis is multifactorial.

Diabetic foot osteomyelitis (DFO) is mostly the consequence of a soft tissue infection that spreads into the bone, involving the cortex first and then the marrow. The possible bone involvement should be suspected in all DFUs patients with infection clinical findings, in chronic wounds and in case of ulcer recurrence.
