Skeletal System Flashcards
A serious autosomal dominant , congenital disease that affects the newborn skeletal system
Brittle bone disease
Osteogenesis imperfecta
It is the most common inherited disorder that results in malformation and dwarfism
Achondroplasia
Marble bone are term in various disorders that involves increase in bone density and defective bone contour (skeletal modeling)
Osteopetrosis
Common form of osteosclerotic osteopetrosis that is considered as a benign skeletal anomaly involving bone density
Albers- Schonberg
Hand and foot malformation
Syndactyly
Polydactyly
Clubfoot
Failure of the finger or toes to separate, appearance of a webbed digit
Syndactyly
Presence of extra digits
Polydactyly
Prevents a normal weight-bearing . Found to turn inward at the ankle
Clubfoot
Malformation of the acetabulum due to incomplete displacement of the head of the femur
Congenital dislocation of the hip
Congenital hip dysplasia
Abnormal lateral curvature of the spine
Scoliosis
Incomplete closure of the vertebral canal results in failure of bony fusion of 2 laminae
Spina bifida
Protrusion spina bifida
Spina bifida cystica
No protrusion of meninges
Spina benifida occulta
Premature closure of the cranial sutures
Craniosynostoses
No formation of the brain and cranial vault leaving only the facial bones to be formed
Anencephaly
Infection of the bone and bone marrow resulting from a direct infection such as an open fracture
Osteomyelitis
Chronic inflammatory disease affecting the ends of long bones or the spine
Tuberculosis
Myobacterium tuberculosis
Tuberculosis of the spine
Pott’s disease
Inflammation of the joints
Arthritis
Commonly called Pyogenic Arthritis caused by Staphylocci , Streptococci and gonococci
Acute arthritis
Chronic inflammatory disorder affecting the synovial joints
Rheumatoid arthritis
Progressive form of arthritis affecting the spine and sacroiliac joints
Referred to as a bamboo spine
Ankylosing spondylitis
Most common type of arthritis as degenerative joint disease
Osteoarthritis
Presence of bone spurs which is due to the loss of articular cartilage
Osteophytes
