    Hematogenous osteomyelitis occurs when bacteria enter the bloodstream and seed the bones, typically affecting younger people before growth plates close. Contiguous osteomyelitis spreads from nearby infections, most commonly in the bones of the diabetic foot due to unnoticed ulcers. Vascular insufficiency osteomyelitis is most likely to infect the small foot bones due to neuropathy reducing pain and weak circulation failing to clear infection.
