Tibial osteomyelitis typically presents with lower limb pain and localized skin erythema and swelling. During acute exacerbation, patients commonly experience fatigue, anorexia, and fever. Prolonged disease course often leads to sequestration (small fragments of necrotic bone), skin hyperpigmentation, and cutaneous ulceration with suppuration and bleeding.
