Osteomyelitis is inflammation of the bone caused by an infection or secondary to a fracture and can either be acute or chronic. The infection can spread via the bloodstream to the bone. The most common areas affected vary according to age and for adults areas of concern are the vertebrae and pelvis. When an infection occurs in the bone, it can cause a loss of blood supply to that area and the tissue will eventually die - this results in chronic osteomyelitis.
