5. Ewing sarcoma
Malignant tumor arising from the bone marrow which typically affect chuldren and young adults.
Bone pain, tenderness and localized swelling are the symptoms
6. Gout
Metabolic disease in which there is excessive uric acid in blood and around the joint.
A form of arthritis associated with severe pain, redness and tenderness in joints.
7. Prolapsed disc/ Herniated disc
Rupture/herniation of the nucleus pulposus between two vertebrae
Nucleus pulposus is the inner core of the vertebral disc.
8. Paget's disease of bone
Skeletal disease affecting elderly.
Mostly affect pelvis, skull, spine and legs.
9. Rheumatoid arthritis
Most common cause of chronic inflammatory joint disease
Characterized by asymmetrical poly arthritis and tenosynovitis, morning stiffness, Increased ESR and autoantibodies targeted against immunoglobulins in the serum.
10. Sequestrum
Dead piece off bone tissue.
formed within an injured or diseased bone,seen in chronic osteomyelitis.
11. Kyphosis
Spinal disorder characterized by outward curve of spine resulting in humpback posture
12. Scoliosis
sideways curvature of the spine.
Mostly occurs before puberty
13. Myastheina gravis
Disease of neuromuscular junction
Weakness and rapid fatigue of muscle
14. rotator cuff injuries
Damage to the capsule of the shoulder joint.
It is reinforced by muscles and tendons
15. Sprain
Muscle trauma due to overuse or excessive stretching
16. Arthrocentesis
Puncture of a joint space with needle to remove synovial fluid
17. Arthroscopy
minimally invasive surgical procedure on a joint
Endoscope inserted through a small incision
18. Lordosis
Forward curvature of spine
Results in swaback posture
19. Sequestrectomy
Removal of sequestrum.
20. Torticollis
Spasmodic contractions of neck muscles, causes stiffness and twisting
