Osteomyelitis, which is a bone inflammation brought on by an infectious agent, is a challenging clinical issue. Chronic osteomyelitis, characterized by persistent inflammation and infection of the bone tissue, poses significant challenges to both physical health and functional well-being. A 20-year-old male came with complaints of pus discharge from an ulcer present on the dorsum of the right foot with pain and swelling around it. He was unable to stand or walk properly so he came to Acharya Vinoba Bhave Rural Hospital, Wardha, India, where investigations were done which confirmed the diagnosis of chronic osteomyelitis of the secondmetatarsal. The patient then underwent debridement and curettage due to which he had trouble walking, his ankle joint's range of motion was restricted, and his ability to carry out everyday tasks was compromised. Physiotherapy rehabilitation was administered, and outcome measures were assessed, revealing notable enhancements in the patient's range of motion and muscular strength. A physiotherapy routine helped the patient overcome this, which is crucial to a quick and complete recovery. It also aided the patient's functional mobility and independent ambulation.

Background: Chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) is a rare autoinflammatory disease of unknown cause, predominantly affecting teens and young adults. The early diagnosis and management are challenging due to the lack of reliable diagnostic markers and the occasional intractable cases despite conventional anti-inflammatory treatments. Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors have recently shown potential utility; however, reports on their use for pediatric patients with CNO remain limited, and no established biomarkers exist to monitor disease activity.

Background: Childhood autoimmune disorders involve the immune system attacking its own tissues, leading to varied symptoms, while autoinflammatory disorders result from innate immune system dysregulation, both requiring extensive diagnosis and multidisciplinary management due to their complexity.
Case Presentation: We present a unique clinical case of a teenager with a combination of autoimmune and autoinflammatory disorders. The initial manifestation of hip pain, coupled with progressive symptoms over several years and findings in multiple magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, culminated in the diagnosis of chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO).

Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the influence of drug factors on the efficacy of bisphosphonate for chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis to provide a reference for clinical treatment and promote clinical rational drug use by evaluation of effectiveness and safety of bisphosphonate treatment of chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis.
Methods: Literature on the treatment of chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis by using bisphosphonate was collected and analyzed from PubMed, Medline, Embase, Cochrane, ISI Web of Knowledge, CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang databases.
Results: A total of 489 cases were collected, with an average complete response rate of clinical presentation, laboratory tests and imaging findings of 80.

Diffuse sclerosing osteomyelitis (DSO) is a non-bacterial disease of the jawbone, characterized by intermittent pain, swelling, and a mixture of osteosclerosis and osteolysis on radiographs. Its etiology remains unclear, and a standard treatment, based on clear diagnostic criteria, has not been established. We present the case of a 48-year-old male patient, who was initially diagnosed with chronic mandibular osteomyelitis due to apical periodontitis in the right lower second premolar, and underwent antimicrobial medication and surgical therapy based on computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and bone scintigraphy.
