| closed fracture | simple fracture ; a bone fracture in which the skin is not pierced by bone fragments. |
| comminuted fracture | bone fracture characterized by many bone fragments |
| complete fracture | bone fracture characterized by complete separation of bone fragments |
| gout | abnormal condition in which excess uric acid is deposited in joints and other tissues as sodium urate crystals--the crystals produce inflammation or gout arthritis |
| incomplete fracture | bone fracture in which the bone fragments remain partially joined. |
| kyphosis | abnormally exaggerated thoracic curvature of the vertebral column |
| linear fracture | bone fracture characterized by a fracture line that is parallel to the bone's long axis |
| lordosis | abnorally exaggerated lumbar curvature of the vertebral column |
| mastoiditis | inflammation of the air cells within the mastoid portion of the temporal bone; usually caused by infection |
| oblique fracture | bone fracture that is characterized by a fracture line that is diagonal to the long axis of the broken bone. |
| open fracture | compound fracture; bone fracture in which bone fragments pierce the skin. |
| osteoarthritis | degenerative joint disease; a non inflammatory |
| osteomalacia | bone disorder usually caused by vitamin D deficiency and characterized by loss of mineral in the bone matrix; the adult form of rickets. |
| osteomyelitis | bacterial( usually staphylococcus) infection of bone tissue |
| osteoporosis | bone disorder characterized by loss of minerals and collagen from bone matrix, reducing the volume and strength of bone |
| Pagets disease | osteitis deforman; an often mild metabolic bone disorder characterized by replacement of normal spongy bone with disorganized bone matrix |
| rheumatoid arthritis | an autoimmune infammatory joint disease characterized by synovial inflammation that spreads to other tissue |
| rickets | childhood form of osteomalacia,a bone softening condition caused by vitamin D deficiency |
| scoliosis | abnormal lateral (side to side) curvature of the vertebral column |
| sprain | injury to soft tissues of a joint, including muscle, tendon, and/or ligament. |
| transverse fracture | bone fracture characterized by a fracture line that is at a right angle to the long axis of the bone |
