There are three classifications of osteomyelitis:
1) Hematogenous osteomyelitis, which spreads to bone through the bloodstream from another infection site and typically affects the growing skeleton.
2) Contiguous focus osteomyelitis, which results from direct bacterial inoculation via trauma, surgery, or prosthetic devices to an adjacent bone.
3) Osteomyelitis with vascular insufficiency, which occurs in patients with diseases like diabetes that impair blood flow and usually begins as a soft tissue infection that spreads to bone, commonly in the feet.
