Myositis Ossificans Myositis ossificans is a condition in which an area of bruised muscle turns into bone (calcifies). This can happen when a deep bruise (contusion) is not treated. A contusion is caused by bleeding under the skin. When this blood seeps into soft tissues, it can form a clot (hematoma) and the clot it may go through a process called calcification. This turns the clot into bone. Myositis ossificans is relatively common in the arm or thigh. CAUSES The cause of this condition…

Meningiomas typically appear as a broad-based, extra-axial masses displacing normal brain parenchyma. They have distinct tumor margins especially in cats. Meningiomas are isodense to slightly hyperdense on CT, typically with uniform contrast enhancement. Occasionally meningiomas may have a cystic component extending from or contained within the primary tumor and may also have areas of mineralisation based on subtype. Contrast enhancement of meningiomas varies upon presence of cysts and areas…

Osteomyelitis Anoimalo S. Matagi Alaska Career College Abstract Osteomyelitis affects about two out of every 10,000 people (Cleveland Clinic, 2016). A possible reason as to why two of 10,000 people are affected is their lack of understanding to how to treat and prevent osteomyelitis. For example, those who are not aware of how osteomyelitis and how it effects the bone, as many organisms (most commonly staphylococcus) travel through the blood stream and can cause a bone…

There are many different forms of dwarfism found all over the world. The most common one however; is called Achondroplasia. Achondroplasia actually means “without cartilage formation”. This does not mean that the body cannot make cartilage. It means that the cartilage is not able to convert into bone. This process is called ossification. Achondroplasia is very similar to another type of dwarfism called hypochondroplasia. The biggest difference between the two is that your features are…

the formation of bones. The term Osteogenesis Imperfecta literally means imperfect bone formation. People with OI have bones that break easily, usually caused by a mild trauma or no cause at all. Multiple fractures are common with this disease since bones are weak. Although, in severe cases fracture of bones can occur before birth. This disease is caused by defective connective tissue and the lack of Type One Collagen. There are eight recognized forms of Osteogenesis Imperfecta ranging from Type…

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.…

Bone fragments from a fracture can lacerate the surrounding tissue and cause further damage, so they must be taken to a hospital emergency room as quickly as possible. If bone fragments are piercing though the skin, then it is best to call an ambulance for transportation. They…

modality. On the other hand, there are some studies that refer to the sides effects on specific treatments and the risk of use it right following a bone fracture. Although the ESWT has reported great applications on tissue healing, the side effects of ESWT in tennis elbow (also known as lateral epicondylitis) and the cause of bone growth and immediate fracture after the acute stage, show that ESWT might not be the appropriate modality to treat those conditions. Extracorporeal Shock Wave…

We all react differently to the things that happens in our lifetime. While the certain events that take place do not define us as people, the way we react to those events do. Like for example, reacting to accidents. Accidents are a great example for this because they are almost completely at random. No one can ever predict or prevent from making accidents, it’s just human nature. While saying that, there are always 2 ways to react to an accident that has just happened. There is always a positive…

The most common bone tumors of the foot and ankle are osseous and cartilaginous lesions, including enchondromas, osteochondromas, and chondromyxoid fibromas [1]. Giant cell tumors (GCT), chondroblastomas, osteoid osteomas, and osteoblastomas also occur. Non-neoplastic conditions include intraosseous lipomas, simple (unicameral) bone cysts, and aneurysmal bone cysts [2]. GCT, also known as osteoclastomas, are fairly common bone tumors, accounting for 5% of all primary bone tumors. They are benign…
