Osteomyelitis is an infection and inflammation of the bone. Bacteria are the primary cause of osteomyelitis. Infections with fungi and viruses can also cause it.It usually affects children and others who are immunocompromised. Although bacteria cannot colonise bone ordinarily, events such as trauma, ischemia, surgery, the presence of foreign particles, or the insertion of prostheses can disrupt bone integration, eventually leading to infection.AIM : To study Bacteriological profile of osteomyelitis patients in Government Hospital, Ambikapur. Material And Material: During the study period of April2021 to Oct 2021 for this study 30 patients who were diagnosed clinically and radiologically as a case of Chronic Osteomyelitis are participating in this study. The risk factors for Chronic Osteomyelitis were obtained from patient case sheets with the help of orthopedic surgeons in the department of orthopedic RSDKSGMC and Hospital.In this study, the total number of cases Chronic Osteomyelitis considered was 30.with age group of 1-60 years and both the sexs. Conclusion: Chronic osteomyelitis is a chronic disease that affects the long bones, particularly the femur and tibia, and is most common in adults. Haematogenous Osteomyelitis is becoming less common as antibiotics become more widely available and children's growing bones have a higher vascular metaphysis.
