    Study Notes

    • Osteopexy: Involves surgical fixation of bone to the body wall, ensuring stability.
    • Osteotomy: Entails cutting or removing a piece of bone, often for correcting deformities.
    • Osteostomy: Refers to the surgical creation of a permanent opening in a bone for medical purposes.
    • Osteocentesis: Involves surgical puncture of a bone, usually to extract fluid for medical analysis.
    • Osteodesis: The process of fusing two or more bones together to promote stability.
    • Osteoplasty: A type of plastic surgery focused on reconstructing or repairing bone structure.
    • Ostectomy: Involves the excision of a part of a bone, often to remove damaged or diseased tissue.
    • Amputation: The intentional surgical removal of a limb or body part due to injury or disease.
    • Osteonecrosis: Represents the death of bone tissue, often due to loss of blood supply.
    • Arthralgia: Describes pain experienced in a joint, indicating possible underlying conditions.
    • Chondropathy: Refers to diseases affecting cartilage, which can impact joint health.
    • Chondromalacia: Indicates abnormal softening of cartilage, often related to joint pain and dysfunction.

    Inflammatory and Structural Conditions

    • Spondylitis: Characterized by inflammation of the joints in the backbone, potentially leading to pain and stiffness.
    • Lordosis: Defined as excessive inward curvature of the spine, which can affect posture and mobility.

    Bone Structure and Components

    • Periosteum: The outer lining of bone that contains nerves and blood vessels, crucial for bone health.
    • Epiphysis: The end part of a long bone involved in growth and joint formation.
    • Diaphysis: The central shaft of a long bone, providing structural support.
    • Physis: Refers to the principle of growth in bone development.
    • Metaphysis: The conic region of a bone between the epiphysis and diaphysis, important for growth plates.
    • Endosteum: The inner layer lining the medullary cavity in bones, involved in bone growth and repair.

    Types of Bone

    • Cortical Bone: The dense outer surface of bone, serving as a protective layer surrounding the inner cavity.
    • Cancellous Bone: Also known as trabecular bone, it consists of spongy tissue within mature adult bones.

    Tumors and Abnormal Growth

    • Osteosarcoma: A malignant bone tumor characterized by a proliferation of osteoblasts, often affecting young adults.
    • Osteochondrosis: A developmental disorder affecting normal bone growth, mainly at the epiphysis, often resolving over time.
