“…Osteomyelitis refers to inflammation of osseous tissue, which starts as an infection in the calcified part of the bone in the medullary area and quickly spreads to the Haversian system and periosteum [ 1 - 4 ].

The pathogens cause pus formation and edema in the medullary cavity followed by an increase in the intramedullary pressure, leading to vascular collapse through stasis, thrombosis, or ischemia.…”

As a result, bone necrosis and ultimately sequester formation occur as the classic symptoms of osteomyelitis [ 1 ].…”
