aka- Degenerative joint disease(DJD)
A noninflammatory joint disease characterized by gradual deterioration of the articular cartilage with hypertrophic bone formation. |
Osteoarthritis
|
|
Local or generalized infection of bone or bone marrow that may be caused by bacteria introduced by trauma or surgery.
|
Osteomyelitis
|
|
A hereditary disease marked by abnormally dense bone.
|
Osteopetrosis
|
|
A reduction in the quantity of bone or atrophy of skeletal tissue.
|
Osteoperosis
|
|
One of the more-common chronic skeletal diseased; a destructive bone disease followed by a reparative process of overproduction of very dense ye soft bones that tend to fracture easily.
|
Paget's disease
|
|
A chronic systemic, disease with inflammatory changes occurring throughout the body's connective tissues.
|
Rheumatoid arthritis
|
|
A sprain or tear of the ulnar collateral ligament of the thumb, near the MCP joint of the hyperextended thumb.
|
"Skier's thumb"

Tumors
|
|
Most common of the primary cancerous bone tumors.
Occur in various parts of the body, arising from obne marrow or marrow plasma cells. |
Multiple myelomas
|
|
Second most common type of primary cancerous bone tumor.
May develop in older persons with Paget's disease. |
Osteogenic sarcomas
|
|
A common primary malignant bone tumor in children and young adults
Arises from bone marrow. |
