Abstract
Osteomyelitis, a complex bone infection, requires better management strategies to address its chronicity and microbial variations. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the demographic, clinical and microbiological characteristics of osteomyelitis cases. A retrospective analysis of 234 patients revealed a strong link between diabetes and chronic osteomyelitis. Staphylococcus aureus was the most common pathogen identified. Histopathological findings showed chronic inflammation and bone necrosis in many cases. Early diagnosis and proper antimicrobial therapy are crucial in preventing chronic outcomes and improving clinical management
