Symptom #10: Open Wound
An open wound describes an injury where there is a break in skin tissue caused by falls, accidents, or any other situation where there is damage to the skin. Open wounds can be classified depending on their cause such as laceration, abrasion, puncture, avulsion, and more.
Osteomyelitis can occur when there is an open wound as the wound gets infected and the infection spreads to the surrounding tissue and bone. The open wound in osteomyelitis often heals at a slow rate.
