The radiograph depicts Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) of the left hip. The right hip is not affected. This childhood hip disorder is a result of idiopathic avascular necrosis of the growing bony epiphysis of the femoral head, with boys affected four times more that girls (Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children, n.d.). This interruption in blood supply to the bone results in necrosis, and the femoral head become flattened due to weight and pressure placed on the bone during normal physical activity (Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children, n.d.). View: This is an Anterioposterior view demonstrating the entire pelvis, sacrum, the lumbosacral articulation, both proximal femurs and hip joints.
Chapter six welcomes us into the skeletal system by presenting functions,types,structure, and development of bones. We are also presented the ideas of fractures and even the spine- curling snap of a broken bone which means a band aid simply won 't do! For example, Hematoma formation , Fibrocartilaginous callus, Bony callus ,and Remolding must occur to heal ,aka 3-10 weeks in a signature infested cast ,and if the break eventuated* on your arm, a complementary farmer 's tan. The Axial Skeleton makes an appearance by explaining itself as lying in the middle of the body and consisting of the skull, hyoid bone, vertebral column, thoracic cage, and middle ear bones. The complexity, physiology and delicate fashions of each member of this group is expressed.
The deformation known as clubfoot is a standout amongst the most widely recognized birth imperfections including the musculoskeletal framework. It presents intrinsic dysplasia of every single musculoskeletal tissue distal to the knee. It is a deformity in which the foot is twisted so that the sole cannot be placed flat on the ground. Understanding the microscopic structure of diseased tissues that characterize clubfoot are very important areas of research. The major component of the ligament, muscle, tendon, bone and joint cartilage involved in clubfoot is collagen.
Appositional bone growth occurs in this area because the bone is being remodeled with an increase in diameter as new bone is being laid down. Osteoblasts, osteocytes and osteoclasts are the cells that would be found in this area to help with bone remodeling. 3. Describe the microscopic features of the osseous tissue that help long bones withstand compressive

Pneumothorax is the presence of air in the pleural space. This happens because of the wound in surface area of the lung and the air move from the lung to pleural cavity and causing collapsed. The collapsed due to the VQ mismatch which is called shunt. Pneumothorax is divided into tension pneumothorax and non-tension pneumothorax. Tension pneumothorax is a very serious condition that can develop with any pneumothorax.
Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva which is sometimes referred to FOP is a very rare genetic disorder in which bones grow uncontrollably to the point of causing disability (Fibrous Dysplasia). As one of the rarest and most disabling diseases, FOP causes bone to form in and over muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other connective tissues (What is FOP). Bridges of this extra bone develops across joints which causes immobility (What is FOP). These bridges also create a second skeleton that imprisons the body in bone.
Children in the periosteum of osteoblasts can continue to produce new bone tissue, so that the surface of the bone thickening, so that the bone is
The knee joint is also known as tibiofemoral joint. It is a synovial hinge joint formed between three bones which are the femur, tibia and patella (Taylor, n.d.). There are two rounded, convex processes which are known as condyles on the distal end of the femur. The distal end of the femur meets two rounded, concave condyles at the proximal end of the tibia (Tyalor, n.d.). A thick, triangular bone which is known as patella lies anterior surface between the femur and tibia.
INTRODUCTION Pressure ulcers are a serious and common problem for older individuals, affecting nearly 1 million adults in the United States. As the population ages, pressure ulcers will remain as a major health care problem. Generally, a pressure ulcer can be defined as any injury caused by unrelieved pressure that results in damage to underlying soft tissue when the tissue is compressed between a bony prominence and external surface over an extended period of time. With aging, local blood supply to the skin reduces, epithelial layers flatten and thin, subcutaneous fat decreases, and collagen fibers lose elasticity.
You know that's sad, he killed himself trying to be like others so he wouldn't be judged.. After a brief career as a professional “freak,” became a patient of London Hospital from 1886 until his death. Merrick had a non heredited disorder, Proteus syndrome created the extreme deformities of face and form that gave Merrick his cruel nickname and led to his virtual enslavement as a sideshow curiosity. That's how he got the name “elephant man”. Merrick said “My feet and legs are covered with thick lumpy skin, also my body, like that of an Elephant, and almost the same colour, in fact, no one would believe until they saw it, that such a thing could exist.”
The etiology of Esophagitis: When I think of how to define Esophagitis, I try to explain it as a serious condition that entails an inflammation of the esophageal lining. Esophageal lining is the mucus-coated passage of your throat or esophagus. The esophagus is the tube that carries food, from the minute you swallow, down your throat to the stomach. If the condition goes untreated, it can become very uncomfortable, causing complications with swallowing, stomach ulcers, and esophageal/internal throat scarring. Esophagitis is caused by an infection or irritation in the esophagus and can be painful, difficult swallowing and chest pain..
As seen in the case study above prevention should always be the focus in managing pressure ulcers, and should be commenced upon initial assessment, ensuring a complete medical and nursing history is taken, followed by a skin examination and completion of risk assessments. The Francis report (2010) investigated the inadequate care in an acute hospital, within his report he made recommendations on the importance of the fundamental aspects of care, including pressure ulcer prevention as a key element of maintaining patient safety (Francis, 2010). The ‘Stop the Pressure’ campaign was originally launched in Midlands and East region in 2011 to raise awareness of the risk factors and early warning signs of pressure ulcers with amongst healthcare professionals. It aimed to use an engagement programme, a SKIN care bundle for patient facing clinical staff, a pressure ulcer collaborative and a communications campaign. Research in the Midlands and East Region showed that 47% of pressure ulcers were occurring in non-acute setting, so community led
Within the confines of osteopathic teaching I’m not sure how much time is allocated for addressing this formally, but there are a
Morton’s Toe or Morton’s foot syndrome is the unusual length of the toe where the second toe appears to be longer than the first toe. When viewed in an x-ray, a Morton’s toe has a shorter bone in the big toe compared to the second toe. For an easier way of determining the disorder, in a foot with Morton’s toe the space between the first and second toe must be shorter than the space between the second and third toe. It is also quite significantly observed that a Morton’s Toe/Foot has an arching shape where the second toe seems to protrude in the
