Osteomyelitis in orthopedics
Osteomyelitis is a bone infection that can occur due to various factors, including bacteria entering the bone through open fractures, surgical wounds, or bloodstream infections. In orthopedics, osteomyelitis can complicate the healing process of fractures and surgical sites, leading to chronic pain, disability, and, in severe cases, the need for amputation.
