Bone and joint infections, also known as osteomyelitis and septic arthritis, are serious medical conditions that require prompt diagnosis and treatment. These infections occur when bacteria or other harmful organisms invade the bone or joint through the bloodstream, injury, or surgery.

Common Causes:

  • Open fractures or wounds
  • Recent joint replacement or orthopedic surgery
  • Weak immune system or existing infections
  • Diabetes or poor blood circulation

Symptoms:

  • Intense pain in the affected bone or joint
  • Swelling, redness, and warmth in the area
  • Fever and chills
  • Difficulty moving the affected limb or joint
