Traumatic injury to ligaments of a joint.

Overstretching of muscle or a tendon

Bone that is completely out of its joint socket.

The surgical removal of all or part of a body appendage such as an arm or leg.

An invasive diagnostic imaging procedure used to determine if a specific intervertebral disc in the spine is the source of a patients chronic back pain.

A major surgical procedure that involves making an incision down the middle of the chest and through the breastbone.

Condition that affects bone tissue

loss of bone mass, which can result in bones being fragile and at risk for fractures

misshaped bone resulting from inflammation

Cyst of synovial fluid in the popliteal area

lateral epicondylitis

inflammation of the tendon on the outer side of the elbow accompanied by pain and tenderness

Inflammation of the cartilage of the ribs.

Type of arthritis due to excessive uric acid that causes crystals to form

Extreme curvature of the thoracic area of the spine

abnormal condition of bony growth

Breakdown of striated/skeletal muscle

Partially bent and partially broken

Highly malignant tumor of skeletal muscle

condition of more than five fingers or toes on each hand or foot

connective tissue disorder that causes hardening and thickening of the skin

Abnormal condition of narrowing of the spinal canal

Salter Harris Fracture

Fracture of the epiphyseal plate in children

Fractures that do not pierce the skin

closed, simple, partial fractures

Non displaced Fractures

The broken bones are still aligned

Ends of the fractured bones are not in alignment

Bone is crushed and or shattered into multiple pieces

Partially bent and partially broken. Common in children

Minor fracture appearing as a thin line on x-ray. May not extended through bone.

Broken bones with ends driven into each other
