Bone Infection

There is soft tissue swelling and
  subcutaneous emphysema (air) at the
 distal fourth and fifth tarsal's.
There is frank bony destruction of the
medial distal fifth tarsal.
There is subtle destruction of the lateral
cortical border of the distal fourth tarsal.
These are the classic plain film findings
 for osteomyelitis
