Study Notes
Joint Conditions and Inflammations
- Ankylosis: Loss of joint mobility due to disease or injury; characterized by stiffness.
- Arthrosclerosis: Joint stiffness, particularly prevalent in the elderly.
- Bursitis: Inflammation of a bursa, the fluid-filled sacs that cushion joints.
- Costochondritis: Inflammation of cartilage connecting ribs to the sternum.
- Synovitis: Inflammation of the synovial membrane leading to swelling and pain; can arise from arthritis or trauma.
Cartilage-Related Conditions
- Chondromalacia: Abnormal softening of cartilage, often affecting joint function.
- Chondroma: A benign tumor composed of cartilage cells; typically slow-growing.
Arthritis and Degenerative Conditions
- Arthritis: An inflammatory condition affecting one or more joints.
- Osteoarthritis: Common form of arthritis known as wear-and-tear arthritis, prevalent with aging.
- Rheumatoid Arthritis: Chronic autoimmune disorder attacking joints and organs; inflames and thickens synovial membranes.
- Gouty Arthritis: Arthritis characterized by uric acid deposits in joints, a byproduct of purine metabolism.
Spinal Conditions
- Spondylosis: Spinal osteoarthritis leading to degeneration and loss of spinal function.
- Ankylosing Spondylitis: Specific type of rheumatoid arthritis causing inflammation between vertebrae.
- Herniated Disk: Condition where an intervertebral disk ruptures, pressing on spinal nerves.
Developmental and Structural Defects
- Spina Bifida: Congenital defect where the spinal canal fails to close, exposing the spinal cord.
- Scoliosis: Abnormal lateral curvature of the spine, presenting as a sideways deviation.
Pain and Inflammatory Disorders
- Lumbago: Lower back pain affecting the lumbar region.
- Ostealgia: Also known as osteodynia; indicates pain in the bones.
- Osteitis: Inflammation of bone often linked to infection or injury.
Bone Disorders
- Osteomalacia: Abnormal softening of bones in adults; commonly due to Vitamin D deficiency.
- Paget's Disease: Characterized by excessive breakdown and abnormal formation of bone tissue.
- Fibrous Dysplasia: Bone disorder replacing normal bone with fibrous tissue, causing structural abnormalities.
Growth and Developmental Conditions
- Rickets: A childhood condition due to Vitamin D deficiency, leading to bone growth defects.
- Short Stature: Known as dwarfism; results from inadequate long bone growth, with an average adult height of 4'10".
Foot Conditions
- Hallux Valgus: Abnormal enlargement of the joint at the base of the big toe, commonly referred to as a bunion.
- Talipes: Also known as clubfoot; encompasses congenital deformities of the foot involving the talus bones.
