without. not

dys-

bad, painful; difficult

bone is broken but there is no wound

closed

bone breaks through skin

open

extensive soft tissue injury

complicated

bone is crushed into several peices

comminuted

broken ends of bone are forced into one another

impacted

line of fracture does not include the whole body

incomplete

bone is broken only on one side, occurs mostly in children with growing soft bones

greenstick

distal radius is broken by falling onto outstretched hand

colles fracture

striated, voluntary muscles

skeletal muscles

visceral muscles, involuntary muscles

smooth muscles

found on heart wall

cardiac muscle

most common form of arthritis- protective cartilage at the end of the bones wears down

osteoarthritis- degenerative joint disease (DJD)

rubbing, grating, or crackling sound with movement

crepitation

deformity in which the great toe is angled laterally toward the other toes

bunion

painful condition resulting from compression of the median nerve within the carpal tunnel (wrist canal through which the flexor tendons and the median nerve pass)

carpal tunnel syndrome

lameness, limping

claudication

fibrosis of connective tissue in the skin, fascia, muscle, or joint capsule that prevents normal mobility of the related tissue or joint

contracture

fluid filled tumor that commonly develops along the tendons or joint of the wrists or hands but may also appear in the feet

ganglion cyst
