The radial bone is the bone on the side of your thumb. The fracture is located at the head of the bone, which is at the elbow joint. This usually happens because of an injury, such as a fall on an outstretched arm. There are different types of radial head fracture. They are determined by the amount of movement (displacement) of bones from…

Walaa Awad Dr. Naser Multidisciplinary Approach to Health 8 Osteoporosis is a disease affecting the skeletal system, characterized by low bone mass density, leading to bone fragility and increased risk of fractures. The World Health Organization (WHO) has defined osteoporosis in terms of bone mass that is more than 2.5 SD below the mean for peak bone mass in healthy young adults. In the United States, the number of people age 65 and older is expected to rise from 35 to 86 million between 2000…

answer is C Osteitis Deformans (also known as Paget’s disease). Paget's is caused by the excessive breakdown and formation of bone, followed by disorganized bone remodeling. This causes affected bone to weaken, resulting in pain, misshapen bones, fractures and arthritis in the joints near the affected bones. An elevated level of alkaline phosphatase in the blood in combination with normal calcium, phosphate, and aminotransferase levels in an elderly patient are suggestive of Paget's disease.…

Osteoporosis is called a silent disease because a person can’t feel when their bones are weakening (What is Osteoporosis and What Causes It). There are no symptoms for this disease. Many people find out that they have osteoporosis when they have a bone fracture. There are many causes that lead to this bone disease. In…

Figuring out where you want to go and what you want to do with your life is a jigsaw puzzle. There are times when it’s just a big messy pile of seemingly unrelated pieces. Moments where it’s frustrating and difficult to find the pieces you need. Then slowly the edges are formed, the corners get placed and the picture starts to make sense. At four years old, I stared across the worn wooden floor of my grandma’s kitchen. In front of me was the person I had always believed was superwoman. Except…

INTRODUCTION Osteoarthritis is a disease, which results from mechanical and biological events that destabilize the normal processes of degradation and synthesis of articular cartilage chondrocytes, extracellular matrix, and subchondral bone. These changes include increased water content, decreased proteoglycan content, and altered collagen matrix, all leading to the deterioration of articular cartilage. Osteoarthritis can be classified into primary and secondary types Primary osteoarthritis…

by asking: Do you have any pain or discomfort in your muscles, bones, or joints? Where is it located? What does it feel like? Pain can result from bone, muscle, or joint problems. Bone pain is not usually associated with movement unless there is a fracture, but muscle pain is. Current or recent illness can cause muscle aches. Bone pain is deep, dull, and throbbing; muscle pain takes the form of cramping or soreness (Jenson, 2015). Secondary, I will assess if she has any muscle weakness, when the…

Spinal Compression Fracture CAUSES These kinds of fractures happen when force is applied to a length of the spine. They are often caused by a sudden, wrenching move, injury, or fall. RISK FACTORS SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS The main symptom is pain in the back. This pain may spread to the abdomen, the buttocks, and down the leg into the foot. DIAGNOSIS To diagnose a spinal compression fracture, your health care provider will: Do a physical exam. Ask about your symptoms and what happened…

had heard the bones breaking in my left leg upon impact, and I looked down to see the broken bone pressing against my skin. I had had enough first aid training to realize that any movement whatsoever on my part would cause this to become a compound fracture. I could smell gasoline, and I was covered in glass from the broken window, with shards stuck in my arms and fingers; I reached with my left hand for the cell phone that was now lying on the driver’s seat floor and called for help. I was…

2. Discussion: Pathophysiology How hip implant is engineered An artificial hip is also referred to as a prosthesis. A prosthesis is a mechanical device that is designed to replace a biological part of the body. Each hip implant is made up two main parts: the Acetabular component or socket replaces the acetabulum. The acetabular component is made of a metal shell with the plastic inner that provides the bearing surface. The plastic used is so tough and slick. The femoral component the stem…
