benign chronic disorder of the bone that results in various complications like bone deformities‚ pathological fractures and osteoarthritis (Ralston 2008). It is estimated to occur in about 2-3% of the U.S population of adults over 60 years of age and is the second most common disease after osteoporosis. The occurrence of this disease has been characterized by a significant increase in bone turnover rate and disorganization of the structure and arrangement of the bone trabeculae. This results due to

Bone mineral density by Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) showed a total body Z-score of -3.4 indicating bone mineral density below normal range. Molecular genetic testing identified a pathogenic mutation in the IFITM5 gene‚ confirming a diagnosis of osteogenesis imperfecta‚ type V. The Condition Osteogenesis

3. Stress fractures to the distal fibula (lateral malleolus) or cuboid bone. Since the mechanism of injury is not clear where there was possibility of twisted ankle and the athletes presented with acute symptoms in the injured area which show inflammatory presentations (swelling‚ pain‚ and high temperature)‚ it might be mostly due to either overloading or overusing the ankle joint‚ thus‚ it could be one of the above mentioned diagnoses. The Two top Ranked diagnosis: 1. Stress fracture 2. Peroneal

Radiologic Technician‚ for the people that does not know what a radiologic technician is‚ it is a person that performs diagnostic imaging examinations‚ such as X rays‚ on patients. They take images of your body to see if you have any broken or fracture bones. The x-rays will show if your body is in good condition. Everyone has different jobs in this part of the medical field. There are various names for this type of work‚ but you are referred to as a Radiologic Technology. When you are advancing your

A bone scan revealed reduced bone mass in the head and neck regions of the injured femur‚ in other long bones of the body and in the vertebrae‚ suggestive of osteoporosis. Surgery was required to repair the femur‚ and a biopsy of the bone tissue revealed that the composition of the osteoid is normal. Healing of the fracture is proceeding slowly. 1. Identify and describe the cells and functions of the cells of bone tissue. 2. What age related changes occur in the activities of the bone cells

and the human skeleton. Bones are connected to each other at the joints by ligaments or cartilage and skeletal muscle is attached to bones‚ usually by tendons. Bones mass or density is lost as people age‚ especially in women after menopause. The bone loses calcium and other minerals. Bone is a constantly changing tissue that has several functions. Bones serve as rigid structures to the body and as shields to protect delicate internal organs. They provide housing for the bone marrow‚ where the blood

Background Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI)‚ also known as brittle bone disease‚ is a genetic mutation. I chose Osteogenesis Imperfecta because I wanted to inform the people about the seriousness of this disease. People with this disease have weak bones due to a mutation affecting the collagen in the body. This causes people to have fragile bones‚ which will fracture easily. People may also be very short because of their weak bones. Types of this condition can be mild‚ it can also be very severe. This

Introduction A clavicle fracture is a break in the collar bone. A clavicle fracture may happen during a difficult birth. What are the causes? A clavicle fracture occurs when a newborn’s shoulders are squeezed too tightly during delivery. The shoulders are the widest part of the newborn to come down the birth canal. Clavicle fractures may occur when the baby’s shoulder becomes wedged under the pelvic bone (shoulder dystocia). Very rarely‚ a health care provider intentionally fractures a clavicle or both

the present article‚ the authors investigate the use of flame spheroidized hydroxyapatite particulates in a PEEK polymer for usage as bone analogue materials. Metallic implants have been used for orthopedic implants in the past‚ but polymeric implants have been explored due to stress-shielding issues associated with metallic implants. Wolf’s Law states that if bone is not subjected to mechanical stimuli‚ then it will be absorbed (Uhthoff and Dubuc‚ 1971). Therefore‚ it is important to develop a
