Osteoporosis: What is it?
Loss of bone density and mass
Bones become more porous, increasing risk of fractures

Osteoporosis: Causes More common in women, especially of Asian
and European descent Aging leads to a loss of osteoblasts loss in
bone density With the onset of menopause (mid-forties to
fifties), diminishing estrogen levels lead to excessive bone resorption (osteoclast activity)
![Page 5: SKELETAL DISEASES NOTES](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56816456550346895dd6244d/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Osteoporosis: Treatment
Age: Vitamin D and calcium supplements drugs that slow bone loss frequent moderate exercise (help
make bones stronger)Menopause: drugs that raise estrogen levels

Arthritis: What is it? Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune (body
attacking itself) disease which causes joint stiffness and bone deformity
Inflammation and swelling of flexible joints, destruction of articular cartilage, and ankylosis (fusion of joints)
![Page 7: SKELETAL DISEASES NOTES](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56816456550346895dd6244d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Arthritis
![Page 8: SKELETAL DISEASES NOTES](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56816456550346895dd6244d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Arthritis: Causes Osteoarthritis is caused
by wear and tear on articular cartilage due to age, injury, frequent use, or infection.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease where antibodies attack articular cartilage leading to inflammation etc. While its cause is unknown, there is a genetic component and smokers are at increased risk.

Arthritis: TreatmentDepends on the cause… Anti-inflammatory drugs (Advil, steroids) cold-packs immune-suppressing drugs (rheumatoid) Physical Therapy (PT) Surgery Stem cells regrow cartilage

Scoliosis: What is it?An abnormal curvature of the spine from side-to-side. Often not painful, but can be. Most often diagnosed and develops in adolescence. Also seen in elderly patients.
![Page 11: SKELETAL DISEASES NOTES](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56816456550346895dd6244d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Scoliosis: Causes Mostly unknown.
Can develop from problems in other parts of the body (spina bifida, cerebral palsy), arthritis, improper development of the spine at birth, or have genetic causes.

Treatment Bracing, surgery, PT, and
chiropractics (older patients)
![Page 13: SKELETAL DISEASES NOTES](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56816456550346895dd6244d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Rickets: What is it? Softening of bones which can lead to
bone tenderness, bow-legged posture, improper skeletal development, tetany (uncontrolled muscle spasms)
![Page 14: SKELETAL DISEASES NOTES](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56816456550346895dd6244d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Rickets: Causes1. Vitamin D deficiency2. Lack of calcium in diet Vitamin D is required for proper calcium
absorption Vitamin D is produced when you are
exposed to sunlight (UV rays). Darker-skinned people require longer exposure to sunlight
Rarely seen in developed countries. Most commonly seen today in developing countries where children are malnourished.

Treatments Vitamin D supplement + Calcium
supplement in diet Exposure to sunlight

Rickets
Children in developed nations don’t go outdoors as much and often play inside on their electronic devices. Why do you think rickets are not a problem then for children in these countries?
Milk + Vitamin D

Blount’s Disease: What is it? Bow-leggedness
that becomes progressively worse with age. Often seen in children and adolescents. Associated with overweight individuals.
![Page 19: SKELETAL DISEASES NOTES](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56816456550346895dd6244d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Blount’s Disease: Causes The inner part of the
tibia under the patella fails to develop properly leading to a slanting of the bones, angled inward.
This developmental failure is often the result of extra stress placed on the tibia with obese individuals
![Page 20: SKELETAL DISEASES NOTES](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56816456550346895dd6244d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Blount’s Disease: Treatment Bracing Surgery Diet/Exercise to promote long-
term success of treatment

Sprain: What is it? Usually painful Injured portion often swells and may
turn black and blue Occurs at joints. Result of an injury
to a ligament or to the tissue that covers a joint.
![Page 23: SKELETAL DISEASES NOTES](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56816456550346895dd6244d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Sprain: Causes Most sprains result from a
sudden wrench that stretches or tears the tissues of the ligaments.
Common in athletes
![Page 24: SKELETAL DISEASES NOTES](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56816456550346895dd6244d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Sprain: TreatmentRICE:
Rest (first 48 hours using crutches, splint)
Ice (first 48 hours for 20 minutes every 3-4 hours)
Compression (wrap it snuggly) Elevate (higher than heart)

Kyphosis: What is it? Deformity of the upper portion of
the spinal column that results in severe forward bending of the spine (hunchback)
![Page 26: SKELETAL DISEASES NOTES](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56816456550346895dd6244d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Kyphosis: Causes In children and
adolescents, this condition may result from poor posture, misshapen vertebrae or problems during fetal development.
In adults, this condition is often the result of another disease, such as arthritis, osteoporosis, trauma, or cancer

Kyphosis: Treatment
Exercise/Physical Therapy (if minor)
Bracing (moderate)
Surgery (severe)
