Osteal extravasation was a relatively minor medical condition.

In 2377, the Dinaali Tebbis diagnosed himself as suffering from osteal extravasation in his leg. However, of more concern was his chromovirus infection. (VOY: "Critical Care")

Physiologically, "extravasation" generally refers to the movement of fluid and/or cells out of transport vessels into the surrounding tissue. In this case, "osteal" implies it is associated with bones.
