Q

acromegaly

A

abnormal pituitary activity after epiphyseal cartilage closes. Causes bones to get thicker, particularly in face, jaw, and hands.

Cartilage growth and changes to soft tissue affect contours of the face

Q

Marfan’s syndrome

A
  • inhereted metabolic condition that affects many systems
  • patients are very tall with long, slender limbs due to excessive formation at epiphyseal cartilages.
  • Condition affects connective tissue, causing life-threatening cardivascular problems

Q

bone scan

A

a nuclear scanning test that identifies new areas of bone growth or breakdown. Used to:

  • evaluate damage
  • find cancer
  • monitor the bone’s condition (infection & trauma)

Q

dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA)

A
  • procedure that uses very small amounts of radiation to measure changes in bone density (as small as 1%)
  • monitors bone density in osteoperosis and osteopenia

Q

osteogenesis imperfecta (OI)

A

“Brittle bone disease”

An inhereted disorder characterized by extreme fragility of the bones

21
Q

osteomyelitis

A

An acute or chronic bone infection

22
Q

osteopetrosis

A

a rare hereditary bone disorder in which the bones become overly dense

present in one of three forms:

  1. osteopetrosis tarda
  2. osteopetrosis congenita
  3. ‘marble bone’ disease
23
Q

osteosarcoma

(osteogenic sarcoma)

A

a type of cancer that starts in the bones

24
Q

Paget’s disease

A

a chronic disorder that results in enlarged, misshapen bones due to abnormal bone destruction and regrowth

25

36
Q

a chronic disorder that results in enlarged, misshapen bones due to abnormal bone destruction and regrowth

A

Paget’s disease

37
Q

Bones appear normal, but are weak and flexible due to poor mineralization

A

osteomalacia

(ex: rickets)

38
Q

inadequate ossification

A

osteopenia

39
Q

when reduction of bone due to osteopenia is sufficient to compromise normal function

A

osteoporosis

40
Q

Produced by cancers of bone marrow, breast and other tissues. Increases the bumber and activity of osteoclasts, causing severe osteoporosis

A

osteoclast-activating factor

41
Q

A break in the bone shaft across the long axis

A

Transverse Fracture

42
Q

produce new and abnormal bone arrangements

A

displaced fractures

(Non-displaced fractures retain the normal alignment)

43
Q

occur in vertebrae subject to extreme stresses

A

compression fractures

44
Q

produced by twisting stresses that spread along the length of the bone

A

spiral fracture

45
Q

Tend to occur where bone matrix is undergoing calcification and chondrocytes are dying. Can permanently stop growth.

A

epiphyseal fracture

46
Q

shatter affected area into a multitude of bony fragments

A

comminuted fracture

47
Q

only one side of the shaft is broken, and the other is bent. Generally in children.

A

Greenstick fracture

48
Q

Occurs at the ankle and affects both bones of the leg

A

Pott’s fracture
