Skeletal Disorders May Occur with Bone, Cartilage, Ligaments, Joints
Tumors & Cancers • Osteosarcoma • Common • Fatal
Tumors & Cancers • Chondrosarcoma • Skeletal Cartilage Cancer
Tumors & Cancers • Fibrosarcoma • Malignant • Bone Marrow • Excessive Connective Tissue Production
Osteoporosis • Most Common & Serious • “Condition of bone pores”
Osteoporosis • Excessive loss of calcium & collagen fibers • Decrease in bone volume / Holes
Osteoporosis • Bones are brittle & easily broken • Spontaneous Fractures • Femur & Vertebrae
Osteoporosis • Most frequently in white elderly women • Decreasing sex hormones reduces bone growth and bone mass maintenance • Kyphosis most notable outward sign • Shrink
Osteomalacia • Decrease in Hard Minerals • Bone volume remains the same • Demineralization • Vitamin D deficiency • Required to absorb Ca and P
In children, it is called Rickets • Bone Deformities • Ca imbalance can lead to death
Paget Disease • Also called Osteitis deformans • Affects Older Adults • Characterized by abnormal bone remodeling
Normal Spongy Bone replaced by disorganized new bone • Thickens entire bone
Osteomyelitis • Bacterial infections of bone and marrow tissue • Staphylococcus most common • Difficult to treat due to bone density and slow healing
Bone Fractures • Open Fractures • The bone pierces the skin • Compound • Closed Fractures • The bone does not pierce the skin • Simple • Complete • Displacement • Incomplete • No Displacement
Fracture Types • Greenstick • Bone is broken only on one side • Comminuted • Break that produces many fragments • Impacted • Bone fragments are driven into each other • Transverse • Fracture is at a right angle to the bone’s long axis • Oblique • Fracture is diagonal to the bone’s long axis
Joint Disorders Non-inflammatory & Inflammatory
Noninflammatory Joint Disease • Does NOT inflame the Synovial Membrane
Osteoarthritis • Also known as degenerative joint disease • Most Common • Degeneration of the articular cartilage • Advanced Age, Joint Damage, Joint Stress
Dislocation • When the articular surfaces of bones are no longer in proper contact • Bone stays OUT of the joint • SUBLUXATION • Reduces on its own
Sprain • An acute injury to the ligaments around a joint • Tear of the Ligament
Inflammatory Joint Disease • Arthritis • Inflammed Synovial Membrane • Many causes • Infection • Genetics • Autoimmunity
Rheumatoid Arthritis • Autoimmune Disorder • Chromic inflammation of connective tissues • Begins in the synovial membrane • Spreads to cartilage & other tissues • Crippling • Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis • More Severe • More Common in Girls
Gouty Arthritis • Gout • Metabolic Condition • Increase in Uric Acid in Blood • Alcohol, Sweet, Fat • Sodium Urate Crystals deposited in Distal Joints • Trigger Chronic Inflammation
Infectious Arthritis • Pathogens cause synovial infection • Joint Deterioration • Most Common Bacterial • Other Signs & Symptoms • Lyme Disease • Ticks
