- Ossification is the process by which bones are formed and developed. The process begins in the embryonic skeleton and continues even after the baby is born, up until adolescence and into adulthood. The two processes by which bones can be ossified are intramembranous ossification and endochondral ossification. Intramembranous ossification is the process by which flat bones, some of the facial bones, and the mandible are formed, whereas endochondral ossification is the process by which the rest of the bones in the body are formed. - Both intramembranous and endochondral bones form by replacing existing cartilage, however, they both do so in different ways.…

Without proper treatment, the bone has a higher risk of growing irregularly and not match the other bone pair. A common surgery procedure is called reduction to move the bone back in place, screws or wires may be placed to secure the area. After, a cast will hold the bone in the correct place while it heals just like most fractures. Physical therapy should be assigned by a pediatrician after healing to strengthen the bone. Most often if the injury was properly treated, there will be not long term complications but if so then special treatment is in order.…

Introduction Osteogenesis imperfecta describes a group of genetic disorders that are colloquially known as “brittle bone disease” and is estimated to affect around 7 out 100,000 people around the world. As the name suggests osteogenesis imperfecta is characterized by imperfect formation of the bones that leads to frequent fractures or breaks from minor trauma (Rauch et al., 2004).

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) helps to connect the end of the thigh bone (femur) to the top of the shin bone (tibia). The ACL helps to “stabilize” the knee, or keeps it from “giving way”. Although we usually hear about ACL injuries in adults playing sports such as football, in which the players are hit in the knee by another player, there is an increasing incidence of ACL injuries in kids and teenagers. This is because more kids and teenagers are playing competitive sports at a high level at a younger age.…
