Osteomyelitis

  Overview Osteomyelitis is a serious bone infection characterized by inflammation and destruction of bone tissue. It can be classified as acute or chronic, depending on the duration and severity of the infection. Acute osteomyelitis typically develops rapidly, often following an injury or surgery, while chronic osteomyelitis can persist for months or years, often due […]

Osteogenesis Imperfecta

  Overview Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), commonly known as brittle bone disease, is a genetic disorder characterized by fragile bones that break easily, often with little or no trauma. This condition is primarily caused by defects in the genes responsible for producing type I collagen, an essential protein that provides structure and strength to bones and […]

Osteoarthritis

  Overview Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis, characterized by the degeneration of joint cartilage and underlying bone. It primarily affects the joints in the hands, knees, hips, and spine. As the cartilage wears down, bones may rub against each other, leading to pain, stiffness, and decreased mobility. OA is a chronic […]

Ossification of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament

  Overview Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) is a condition characterized by the abnormal calcification or hardening of the posterior longitudinal ligament, which runs along the spine. This condition can lead to narrowing of the spinal canal, resulting in compression of the spinal cord and nerve roots. OPLL is most commonly found in […]

NonUnion Fracture

  Overview A non-union fracture, also known as a non-healing fracture, occurs when a broken bone fails to heal properly within the expected time frame. This condition can lead to chronic pain, impaired function, and disability. Non-unions can be classified into different types based on their characteristics and underlying causes. Understanding non-union fractures is essential […]

Neural Foraminal Stenosis

  Overview Neural foraminal stenosis is a condition characterized by the narrowing of the neural foramina, the openings in the spine through which nerve roots exit. This narrowing can lead to compression of the spinal nerves, resulting in pain, numbness, and weakness in the areas served by the affected nerves. Neural foraminal stenosis can occur […]

Neer Impingement Syndrome

  Overview Neer Impingement Syndrome, commonly referred to as shoulder impingement syndrome, is a condition characterized by the painful entrapment of soft tissues, including the rotator cuff tendons and the subacromial bursa, beneath the acromion process of the shoulder. This syndrome is named after Dr. Charles Neer, who first described it in the 1970s. It […]

Necrotizing Fasciitis

  Overview Necrotizing fasciitis is a severe, rapidly progressing soft tissue infection characterized by the inflammation and necrosis of the fascia, subcutaneous tissue, and surrounding muscles. Often referred to as “flesh-eating disease,” this condition can lead to significant morbidity and mortality if not diagnosed and treated promptly. It typically requires aggressive medical intervention, including surgery […]

Necrosis of the Femoral Head

  Overview Necrosis of the femoral head, also known as avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head, is a condition characterized by the death of bone tissue due to a lack of blood supply. This leads to the weakening and potential collapse of the femoral head, which is the ball-shaped top of the thigh bone […]

Necrosis of Femoral Condyle

  Overview Necrosis of the femoral condyle, often referred to as avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral condyle, is a condition characterized by the death of bone tissue due to a lack of blood supply. This condition primarily affects the medial femoral condyle, which is part of the knee joint and can lead to pain, […]
