|
Ostheoporosis |
Porous bone; fragile bones due to loss of bone density |
|
|
Osteomalacia |
Bones abnormally soft due to a deficiency of calcium and phosphorus in the blood. Results in fractures and noticeable deformities of the weight bearing bones. Rickets in children |
|
|
Osteomyelitis |
Localized infection of the bone or the bone marrow resulting from bacterial infection that had spread to bone tissue through blood |
|
|
Ewing's sarcoma |
Malignant tumor of the bones common to young adults particularly adolescent boys |
|
|
Osteogenic sarcoma (osteosarcoma ) |
Malignant tumor arising from the bone. Common sites distal femur the proximal finish and the proximal humerus |
|
|
Osteochondroma |
Most common benign tumor. Most frequent in femur and tibia |
|
|
Paget's disease |
A nonmetabolic bone disease;excessive bone dostruction and unorganized bone formation by osteoblasts. Bone weak and prone to fractures . Mosaic pattern of the bone |
|
|
Spinal stenosis |
Narrowing of vertebrae canal, nerve root canals or intervertebral foramini of the lumbar spinal canal. Causes pressure on the nerve roots prior to their exit from the foramini |
|
|
Talipes equinovarus; clubfoot |
Infants foot fixed in plantar flexion and deviates medially and the heel in elevated position |
|
|
Kyphosis |
Abnormal curvature of the spine . Outward ; humpback or hunchback |
|
|
Lordosis |
Abnormal inward curvature ; swayback |
|
|
Scoliosis |
Abnormal lateral curvature |
|
|
Fracture |
Broken bone. Can be closed, open, complete, greenstick, compression, impacted, comminuted,Colle's,, hairline, pathological or occult |
|
|
Closed fractire |
Simple fracture; break in a bone but no open wound in the skin |
|
|
Open fracture; compound fracture |
Break in a bone as well as open would in the skin |
|
|
Complete fracture |
Extends through in tire thickness of the bone |
|
|
Incomplete fracture ; greenstick fracture |
Doesn't extend through entire thickness of the bone; one side is broken and one side is bent |
|
|
A compression ftactire |
Causes by bony surfaces brid forces against each other. Often associated with osteoporosis |
|
|
An impacted fracture |
Occurs when direst force causes a bone to break forcing the broken end of the smaller bone into the broken end of the larger bone |
|
|
A comminuted fracture |
Occurs when the force is so great that it splinters or crushes a segment of the bone |
|
|
A Colle's fracture |
Occurs at the lower end of radius within 1 inch of connecting to the wrist bones |
|
|
A hairline fracture ; stress fracture |
Minor fracture in which the bone stays in a perfect alignment |
|
|
A pathological fracture |
Occurs when a bone affected by preexisting disease breaks with small force that wouldn't break a normal bone |
|
|
An occult fracture |
Fracture that cannon be detected by X-ray until several weeks after the injury. Most likely to occur in the ribs, tibia, metatarsals or navicular bones |
