avascular necrosis
an area of bone tissue death caused by insufficient blood flow
callus
bulging deposit that forms around the area of a break in a bone, can also occur on the skin
chondromalacia
abnormal softening of cartlidge
comminuted fracture
fracture where the bone is splintered or crushed
compression fracture
fracture where the bone is pressed together on itself
costochondritis
inflammation of the cartlage that connects a rib to the sternum
crepitation
grating sound heard when the ends of a broken bone move together
dual x ray absorptiometery
low exposure radiographic measurement of the spine and hips to measure bone density

type of inflammatory arthritis with deposits of urate crystals in the joints
hallux valgus
abnormal enlargement of the joint at the base of the great toe
hemarthrosis
blood within a joint
hematopoietic
pertaining to the formation of blood cells
internal fixation
fracture treatment that uses pins and plates are placed into the bone to hold the broken pieces together
juvenile idiopathic arthritis
autoimmune disorder affecting kids 16 or younger with symptoms that include pain stiffness joint swelling, fever, rash slowed growth
kyphosis
abnormal increase in the outward curvature of the thoracic spine when viewed from the side
lordosis
abnormal increase in the forward curvature of the lumbar spine

inflammation of the bone marrow and adjacent bone
osteopenia
thinner than average bone density

chronic bone disease of unknown origin characterization by abnormal breakdown of bone tissue followed by abnormal bone formation
pathologic fracture
fracture that occurs when a weakend bone breaks under normal strain

inflammatory disorder of the muscles and joints characterized by pain and stiffness in neck, shoulders, upper arms, hips and thighs
radiculopathy
condition caused by the compression of a nerve in the spine, pinched nerve
scoliosis
abnormal lateral curve of the spine
spina bifida
congenital defect that occurs early in pregnancy where the spinal canal fails to close completely around the spinal cord to protect it
spiral fracture
fracture which the bone has been twisted apart
spondylolithesis
forward slipping movement of the body of one of the lower lumbar vertebrae on the vertebra
spondylosis
degenerative disorder that can cause the loss of normal spinal structure and function
subluxation
partial displacement of bone from its joint
synovi/o and synov/o
