Bone and Joint Infections

Bone and joint infections are caused by bacteria invading the bone tissue and joint structures, leading to inflammation and damage. These infections can result in complications such as local swelling, pain, and bleeding. If left untreated, they can cause bone and joint stiffness, narrowing of the joint cavity, and deformities. Treatment options include antibiotics and surgical intervention. Early diagnosis and proper treatment are crucial for managing bone and joint infections.
