Chronic osteomyelitis is a condition in which bone is infected by bacteria and inflammation persists for a long time. It most often occurs after an open fracture (a fracture in which the bone is exposed to the outside). It is difficult to treat and often recurs, so care at a specialized medical institution is important.

Flat feet refers to a condition in which the arch of the foot — the inward curve along the sole — is so low that it touches the ground. The arch normally acts like a spring, absorbing shock to the foot during walking or running. If symptoms persist, please consult a medical specialist.

A meniscus tear is a tear in the crescent-shaped cartilage (the meniscus) located between the thighbone (femur) and the shinbone (tibia) in the knee. When this happens, the meniscus may absorb shock less effectively, which can affect the health of the knee joint. If you have symptoms, please consult a medical specialist.
