Periostitis

A

This is an information of the periosteum of the bone. The periosteum is the surrounding lining of the bone.

19
Q

Rickets

A

This is a deficiency of vitamin D required to maintain calcium and phosphorus levels in the bone, resulting in problematic bone growth.

20
Q

Osteomalacia

A

This is an abnormal softening of bones in adults, but can also affect children. It is sometimes called adult rickets, and is usually caused by a deficiency of vitamin D, calcium and phosphate.

21
Q

Osteomyelitis

A

This is an inflammation of the bone marrow and adjacent bone caused by a bacterial infection, often in another part of the body.

22
Q

Paget’s disease

A

Paget’s disease is a chronic bone disease, characterized by an abnormal breakdown of the bone, beginning in the pelvis, skull, spine, and legs. New bone, then forms, but is often structurally, enlarged, weak, and oddly shaped.

23
Q

Osteoporosis

A

This is a loss of bone density, resulting in increased porosity of the bone option associated with aging.

24
Q

Osteopenia

A

This refers to bone density that is thinner than normal. This person does not yet have osteoporosis, but has a higher risk of developing it.

25
Q

Compression fractures

A

These type of fractures are often seen in people with osteoporosis. The compression fracture typically occurs in the vertebral column where the bone is pressed together, resulting in loss of height, pain, and spinal curvature abnormalities.

26
Q

Collies’ fracture

A

This is also associated with osteoporosis. This type of fracture occurs in the lower end of the radius often when people try to break a fall and land on their hands.

27
Q

Fracture

A

This is often termed a simple fracture. They closed fracture is when the bone is broken but it’s not puncture of the skin.

29
Q

Open fracture

A

This is often termed a compound fracture, because not only is the bone broken, but it breaks the skin forming a wound in the tissue.

Q

Comminuted fracture

A

This is a fracture with a bone is crushed or splinter into small pieces.

31
Q

Greenstick fracture

A

This is when the Bone is only partially broken. It typically occurs in children prior to complete bone development.

32
Q

Oblique fracture

A

This type of fracture occurs when the break occurs across the bone at an angle.

33
Q

Transverse fracture

35
Q

Spiral fracture

A

This type of break occurs when the bone is twisted around its axis.

36
Q

Avulsed fracture

A

Which type of fracture occurs when part of the bone is chipped away at the end.

37
Q

Q

Secondary bone cancer

A

A

This type of cancer occurs in blood make any cells found in the red bone marrow. It is often fatal and causes pathologic fractures.

42
Q

Osteochondroma

A

This is a benign bony project covered with cartilage.

43
Q
