cortical bone

A

Cortical bone is the dense outer surface of bone that forms a protective layer around the internal cavity. This type of bone also known as compact bone makes up nearly 80% of skeletal mass and is imperative to body structure and weight bearing because of its high resistance to bending and torsion.

99
Q

Tennis elbow

A

103
Q

Carpal tunnel syndrome

A

a painful condition of the hand and fingers caused by compression of a major nerve where it passes over the carpal bones through a passage at the front of the wrist, alongside the flexor tendons of the hand. It may be caused by repetitive movements over a long period, or by fluid retention, and is characterized by sensations of tingling, numbness, or burning.

104
Q

Q

Osteoarthritis (OA)

A

A type of arthritis that occurs when flexible tissue at the ends of bones wears down.
The wearing down of the protective tissue at the ends of bones (cartilage) occurs gradually and worsens over time.
Joint pain in the hands, neck, lower back, knees, or hips is the most common symptom.
Medications, physical therapy, and sometimes surgery can help reduce pain and maintain joint movement.

A rheumatoid nodule is a local swelling or tissue lump, usually rather firm to touch, like an unripe fruit, which occurs almost exclusively in association with rheumatoid arthritis. Very rarely rheumatoid nodules occur as rheumatoid nodulosis in the absence of arthritis.

111
Q

Your pelvic girdle

A

Your pelvic girdle consists of your two hip bones that articulate anteriorly with each other at the symphysis pubis and posteriorly with the sacrum (a triangular-shaped bone in your lower back).

113
Q

sacrum (a triangular-shaped bone in your lower back)

sacroiliac joints. SI

A

SI Joint

146
Q

calcaneus

A

The heel bone is called the calcaneus.

147

A podiatrist is not an MD but is a doctor of podiatric medicine (DPM). - a person who treats the feet and their ailments.

150
Q

Bunions - also called a hallux valgus

A

deformities that appear as swollen bones, often occur at the base of the big toe. A bunion is also called a hallux valgus, and it causes the metatarsophalangeal joint to misalign and stick out.

151
Q

Pott fracture

A

Pott fracture is a fracture of the fibula near the ankle, often accompanied by a fracture of the medial malleolus of the tibia.

152
Q

153
Q

CAT

A

CAT computed tomography
- Computed tomography (CAT or CT) scan provides a series of detailed pictures of parts of the body, taken from different angles, that are created by an X-ray machine linked to a computer.
Diagnostic Procedures for Bone Cancer

154
Q

(CT)

A

(CT) scan
- Computed tomography (CAT or CT) scan provides a series of detailed pictures of parts of the body, taken from different angles, that are created by an X-ray machine linked to a computer.

- Bone mineral density (BMD) screening using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA or DXA scan) is used to diagnose and follow osteoporosis.
Diagnostic Procedures for Metabolic Bone Disorders

156
Q

(DXA)

A

(DXA) absorptiometry
- Bone mineral density (BMD) screening using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA or DXA scan) is used to diagnose and follow osteoporosis.

MRI magnetic resonance imaging
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses a magnet linked to a computer to create detailed pictures of body parts without using X-rays.
Diagnostic Procedures for Bone Cancer

159
Q

PET

A

PET positron emission tomography
- Positron emission tomography (PET) scan uses radioactive glucose that is injected into the bloodstream and a scanner that makes a computerized picture of body parts where the glucose is being used. Cancer cells can use more glucose than normal cells and can be detected by the scan.

Q

Nuclear bone scan
Diagnostic Procedures for Metabolic Bone Disorders
& Diagnostic Procedures for Bone Cancer

A

Nuclear bone scan involves a radioactive substance injected into the bloodstream. From there, it travels into the bones and is detected by a special camera. It can show a bone infection, a fracture not clearly seen on X-ray, arthritis, and primary or metastatic cancer.

162

A

an examination of tissue removed from a living body to discover the presence, cause, or extent of a disease.

166
Q

Therapeutic Procedures for Bone Disorders

A

Surgery

Chemotherapy is the use of anticancer drugs, often in combinations, to kill cancer cells. Numerous drugs are available.

Radiotherapy uses high-energy X-rays to kill cancer cells and is often used with surgery.

Cryosurgery uses liquid nitrogen to freeze and kill cancer cells.

Drug therapy : like - estrogen replacement therapy (ERT), anti-estrogens (SERMs), or bone-preserving medications such as calcitonin. A class of drugs called bisphosphonates prevents the loss of bone mass and is used in the treatment of osteoporosis, Paget disease, osteogenesis imperfecta, and any condition that features bone fragility.
