This condition primarily affects the skeletal system, most often involving the vertebrae, pelvis, or bones of the lower extremities in individuals with risk factors such as open fractures, surgical trauma, severe peripheral vascular disease, or diabetes mellitus

This condition primarily affects the skeletal system, most often involving the vertebrae, pelvis, or bones of the lower extremities in individuals with risk factors such as open fractures, surgical trauma, severe peripheral vascular disease, or diabetes mellitus Pathophysiologically, the bacteria typically spread by direct extension from adjacent chronic soft-tissue infections or ulcers, inciting inflammatory destruction, vascular thrombosis, and osseous necrosis that manifest as localized bone ...
