Bone Grafting Bone grafting is a surgical procedure to repair defective bones or certain types of broken bones. In this procedure, pieces of bone or a type of man-made (synthetic) bone is used to strengthen a broken bone or to fill in a defect. There are three basic types of bone grafts. Your graft may be from: • Your own bone (autograft). A bone graft is often taken from your hip, rib, or leg. • Donated bone from a tissue bank (allograft). These grafts are taken from healthy donors and…

The adult skeletal system has 206 bones,well as the network of many tendons, ligaments and cartilage. They perform many of functions in your body, it supports, creates movement, protection, your blood cell production, your calcium storage and the endocrine regulation. Bones in our body support us and protect us. The bones of the legs, pelvis, Are back hold up the body to maintain are posture, the jaw supports the teeth, mostly all the bones in our body support our muscles and tendons in…

attempting to preform even the easiest of tasks. Structure of skeletal system One vital section is the axial skeleton this is the component of the skeleton that consists of the bones of the head and trunk of a vertebrate. It’s made up of 80 bones and is composed of eight parts; the skull bones, the ossicles of the middle ear, the hyoid bone, the rib cage, sternum and the vertebral column therefore proving to me essential in the body as it is protecting the brain and the vital organs keeping us…

Facts Osteoporosis is a condition that makes the bones thinner and easily to be broken or shattered due to loss of calcium. This puts people at a risk of bone fractures especially of the hips, spinal vertebrae, and wrist. Both men and women are affected, but it is more common in women than men. Over 40 million people have osteoporosis and are at a higher risk because of low calcium according to the National Institute of Health. There are four types of osteoporosis, but the main type is the…

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…

metacarpal fracture is a break (fracture) of a bone in the hand. Metacarpals are the bones that extend from the knuckles to the wrist. There are five metacarpal bones that connect your fingers and your thumb to your wrist. Some hand fractures have bone pieces that are close together and stable (simple). These fractures may be treated with only a splint or cast. Hand fractures that have many pieces of broken bone (comminuted), unstable bone pieces (displaced), or bone that breaks through the…

axial skeleton consists of a the skull, hyoid bone, auditory ossicles, vertebral column (spine), sternum bone, and the ribs. -The appendicular skeleton consists of the shoulder girdles, upper limbs, pelvic girdles, and lower limbs. -Bones are living tissue that make up the skeleton. They are primarily composed of three types of tissue. These three types are compact tissue, cancellous tissue, and subchondral tissue. -Compact tissue is the outer layer of bones and is harder than the other…

A bone is made up of different tissues that work together: bone, cartilage, dense connective tissue, epithelium, various blood forming tissues, adipose tissue and nerve tissue(coursehero). All individual bones are organs. Bones along with their cartilages make up the skeletal system. Bone makes up eighteen percent of the weight of a human body. There are two hundred six bones in the in the adult skeleton, more than half are found in both the hands and feet. The functions of a bone are support,…

When you break a bone it can be in any part of the body. Breaking a bone or bones can happen from not being very careful when you're doing dangerous stuff.

No I have never had a broken bone, though I have had a sprained ankle before. If someone gets a nose bleed that means…
