If osteomyelitis is left untreated, the infection can spread to surrounding tissues and bones, leading to increased pain, swelling, and potential loss of limb function. In severe cases, the infection may cause systemic complications, such as sepsis, which can be life-threatening. Additionally, chronic osteomyelitis can develop, resulting in long-term health issues, including bone necrosis and the formation of abscesses. Ultimately, untreated osteomyelitis can significantly impair quality of life and may necessitate more invasive treatments, including surgery.
