Musculoskeletal: A fracture is a break in the continuity of a bone. A break occurs when force is applied that exceeds the tensile or compressive strength of the boneTypical Complete Fractures Closed f... racture Skin overlying the bone is intact Open fracture Communicating wound between bone and skin Comminuted fracture Multiple bone fragmentsExamples of Types of Bone Fractures. A, Oblique: fracture at oblique angle across both cortices. Cause: direct or indirect energy, with angulation and some compression. B, Occult: fracture that is hidden or not readily discernible. Cause: minor force or energy. C, Open: skin broken over fracture; possible soft tissue trauma. Cause: moderate to severe energy that is continuous and exceeds tissue tolerances. D, Pathologic: transverse, oblique, or spiral fracture of bone weakened by tumor pressure or presence.Gout is an inflammatory response to excessive quantities of uric acid in the blood (hyperuricemia) and in other body fluids, including synovial fluid. ➢ Gout is manifested by (1) an increase in serum urate concentration (hyperuricemia);Inflammatory degenerative joint disease in which synthesis and degradation of the articular cartilage in the movable joints are altered, resulting in wearing and destruction of cartilage.Low plasma calcium levels stimulate increased synthesis and secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH). Circulating PTH raises the plasma calcium concentration, it also stimulates increased renal clearance of phosphate. [Show More]
