Common causes of chronic osteomyelitis include

Common causes of chronic osteomyelitis include genetic factors, infection, trauma, immune system abnormalities, and complications of other diseases. The disease is often caused by the long-term action of infectious pathogens on the bone marrow, leading to local inflammation, and requires accurate diagnosis and treatment based on the specific cause.

Genetic factors have a certain impact on the disease in some people, such as immunodeficiency or family history of infectious diseases; but the main cause of the disease is that infectious pathogens in the external environment (such as staphylococci, streptococci, etc.) enter the bone tissue through blood transmission, open fractures or surgery to cause infection. Failure to heal fractures in time and increased risk of postoperative infection are common causes. People with weakened immune function (such as diabetes, long-term use of immunosuppressants) are more likely to suffer from chronic osteomyelitis. Certain diseases such as diabetic foot and blood circulation disorders may also lead to secondary infections and cause osteomyelitis. Continuous and repeated inflammation and tissue necrosis will further aggravate the condition, requiring early detection and intervention.

To prevent chronic osteomyelitis, you need to pay attention to cleaning wounds after fractures or surgery to prevent infection; in the early stages of infection, antibiotic treatment (such as cephalosporin antibiotics, penicillin) should be used to control the infection in a timely manner; in severe cases, surgical debridement, dead bone removal or bone grafting can be selected. It is also very important to keep the immune system healthy and control chronic diseases on a daily basis. If you have symptoms such as persistent bone pain, fever, and non-healing wounds, please seek medical attention for comprehensive examination and treatment as soon as possible.
