Deformities - Osteomyelitis (Bone Infections)

Bone infections, called osteomyelitis, generally require surgery to remove the infected bone. These infections are very difficult to cure with oral or intra-venous antibiotics without also removing the infected bone. The presence of bone infection can be diagnosed with special tests such as bone scans and MRIs.

Socrates, a Greek philosopher once said, "When our feet hurt, we hurt all over."
