Heading Towards HEAL-thier Bones and Joints
A musculoskeletal infection is the invasion of disease-causing organisms into an individual’s muscles, bones, or joints, their multiplication, and the reaction of the individual’s body tissues to these organisms and the toxins they produce.
Types of Musculoskeletal Infections
Septic Arthritis
Septic Arthritis, also known as infectious arthritis, is a painful infection of the joint. The infection can occur from bacteria that spread through the bloodstream from another area of the body. Septic Arthritis can also occur due to a penetrating injury that delivers germs directly into the joint. Infants and older adults are most likely to develop septic Arthritis. Knees are most commonly
affected, but Septic Arthritis also can affect hips, shoulders, and other joints. Being a trauma specialist, Dr. Bhavsar provides expert care for individuals with severe musculoskeletal injuries and related complications. You need orthopedic consultation if:

Osteomyelitis is an infection of the bone that can occur in any age group. It can be caused by bacteria in the bloodstream from infectious diseases that spread to the bone, an open wound from an injury over a bone, and recent surgery or injection in or around a bone. Smokers and people with diabetes or kidney failure are at an increased risk of developing Osteomyelitis.
