common skeletal disorders A+P ch.6 lecture 5
osteomalacia
softening of the bone
cause
not enough vitamin D, poor diet, lack of sunlight, malabsorption condition
S&S
bone pain, loss of height, deformity of weight bearing bones
diagnostic tests
visual exam, bone scan
treatment
correct nutrition
osteomyelitis
acute or chronic condition of inflammation of bone
cause
infection in bone, grown from wound in skin
S&S
pain, swelling, heat, tenderness, high fever and chills, sometimes nausea and malaise(discomfort)
diagnostic tests
visual exam, culture for pathogen
treatment
antibiotics, surgical removal
osteoporosis
cause
decrease bone mass from aging, decreased mobility, and post menopausal
S&S
decrease bone density, pain, fractures, loss of height, kyphosis, height loss of 4-5 inches
diagnostic tests
x-ray, bone density test
treatment
early prevention, means good dietary calcium, avoid smoking and caffeine, exercise, vitamin D, fluoride, and medication
plantar fasciitis (runners heel)
cause
being on your heels too much, connective tissue inflames. Happens from flat feet, high arch shoes, body weight, increase in activity, heels spurs

diagnostic tests
radiology exam
treatment
ice, analgesics, surgery
rickets
cause
lack of vitamin D in childhood resulting in issues with calcium absorption and bone calcification
S&S
week, deformed bones
diagnostic tests
visual exam, radiology exam and patient history
treatment
dietary correction to increase vitamin D, sunlight exposure
scoliosis
sideways curve of spine
cause
congenital defect (birth disorder)
S&S
lateral curvature of spine may lead to backache, fatigue, dyspnea, pulmonary insufficiency
diagnostic tests
visual exam, x-ray
treatment
depends on age and how bad it is, exercise, bracing, surgery
tendinitis
inflammation of a tendon
cause
repetitive movement, or calcium sets down on there
S&S
pain
diagnostic tests
visual exam, radiology exam, and patient history
treatment
rest, heat/cold compression, analgesics and anti-inflammatory medications, injection
