    The document summarizes the pathophysiology and stages of osteomyelitis, an infection of the bone. It begins with predisposing factors that allow microorganisms to enter the bloodstream and lodge in areas of slow circulation. This leads to growth of the infection within the bone, causing ischemia, devascularization, and necrosis. Later stages include formation of sequestra, involucrum, and sinus tracts as the infection becomes chronic and difficult to treat with antibiotics alone. Without proper treatment, the infection can cause loss of organ function or require amputation.
