Osteomyelitis is the medical term for a bone infection. It can occur anywhere in the body but commonly affects the foot. Infections can reach the bone through trauma or spread to the bone via the bloodstream. Osteomyelitis requires aggressive treatment to prevent the spread of infection.

Acute hematogenous osteomyelitis may develop when a blood-born bacteria enters the nutrient artery of a bone and lodges in the metaphysis. The site of the infection may be made vulnerable by concurrent nonpenetrating trauma. This is called the bone bruise theory.

In adults, the vertebrae are the most common site of hematogenous osteomyelitis, but infection may also occur in the long bones, pelvis, and clavicle. Primary hematogenous osteomyelitis is more common in infants and children, usually occurring in the long-bone metaphysis.

Hematogenous osteomyelitis is clearly a systemic infection because bacteremia seeds proximal and distal long bones or paravertebral plexuses, resulting in acute bone infection and destruction.
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.
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.
