Epiphysis

tumo r. Chondroblastoma was first described as calcified giant cell tumor by Ewing.11 Chondroblastoma constitutes a very rare bone tumor entity.2,6 In most cases it manifests between 10 to 20 years. Chondroblastoma are typically centered in an epiphysis. Although they occur most often in the end of a major tubular bone, they can appear in any secondary center of ossification, such as the greater trochanter. Males predominate in incidence. In the literature, there are only three types of…

ages the red marrow is replaced with yellow bone marrow. The ends of the bone are called epiphysis. The proximal epiphysis is the end towards the top of the bone. The distal epiphysis is the end at the bottom of the bone. Hylaline cartilage, or articicular cartilage, covers the joint surface and reduces friction from the joints. The metaphysis is the area in an older bone in between the diaphysis and the epiphysis. The metaphysis area contains the epiphyseal plate or the growth plate. Whenever…

Bone Repair Broken or fracture bone have four (4) stages to repair. 1.Hemata formation - due to fractured bone, the blood vessels are also ruptured and caused hematoma formation and inflammation. This allow clotting process and bone cells die at the broken ends. These dead bone cells are remove by osteoclasts. 2.Bone generation - phagocytic cells clear away the dead cells and capillaries grow again. Fibroblast produce collagen fibers that connect the broken bone ends, while osteoblasts start…

Case studies Many cases in the literature have utilized CT imaging to address bioarchaeological questions; however, predominately they focus on mummification studies, with only a few cases in reference to bone specifically. One such case was in the article Non-invasive Archaeology of Skeletal Material by CT scanning and Three-dimensional Reconstruction by Lynnerup et al. (1997). In this case the skeletal remains are of a very fragile and delicate 7000 year old ancient Sumerian skeleton that was…

A subdiscipline of physical anthropology that uses the characteristics of bone structure to determine the identity of human remains and present those findings in a court of law. A biological profile is a set of characteristics that an individual possessed while alive that can also be determined from their remains. The “big four” elements that make up a biological profile are Age Geographic ancestry Sex Stature (height while alive) Dental Development Observation of stage of tooth formation…

SUMMARY OF CASE STUDY Bill, a 34 year old male, arrived at the doctor’s office experiencing pain in his right hip. Prior to this, Bill maintains an overall healthy lifestyle which includes exercising and activities such as; swimming, water skiing and scuba diving. Bill reports he has had no trauma to his hip. On this visit an analgesic and muscle relaxant were both prescribed to the patient and he was sent home. After three weeks of no improvement Bill has returned to the doctor’s office and has…

Growth Plate Injuries A growth plate is the part of the bone that is located at the ends of every long bone, near the epiphysis. It’s made of cartilage and it is where the length of the bone increases. Growth plate injuries only are relevant to young ages because when an adolescent's bone stops growing the growth plate hardens and becomes part of the bone itself. When a growth plate it damaged before ossifying, it may cause problems in the child’s growth of that specific bone. Growth plate…

Introduction: The case was brought to me to by the district police. They are looking for answers to solve the recent missing/homicide case. The backlogs are backed up of missing person cases in the district police. A middle-aged couple was out doing an early morning jog when they discovered a human skull buried in the dirt. They claimed to have been out jogging in the local Chesterville park. They stated that they stopped to get a drink when they stumbled upon what appeared to be a human skull…

On the southwest corner of 6th and Mt. Rushmore, there is a sign that says, "Welcome to Little Italy." The building next to the sign is a quadplex that shares many small businesses. This is a "mom and pop shop" area of town. Just to the north of all these businesses is an area where most of the drug addict and alcoholic population spend their time. This was a crime infested area with king pins in all sorts of drug categories. Our dispatcher received a call on. October 2nd, 2016 about a finding…
