  2. Slipped capital femoral epiphysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slipped_capital_femoral...

    The fracture occurs at the hypertrophic zone of the physeal cartilage. Stress on the hip causes the epiphysis to move posteriorly and medially, relative to the metaphysis. Although it is not the epiphysis that displaced, by convention, position and alignment in SCFE is described by referring to the relationship of the proximal fragment (capital ...

  3. Unicameral bone cyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicameral_bone_cyst

    A latent cyst is located away from the epiphyseal plate and is more likely to heal with treatment. [4] It is typically diagnosed in under 20 year olds. [1] Although unicameral bone cysts can form in any bone structure, it is predominantly found in the proximal humerus and proximal femur; additionally, it affects males twice as often as females ...

    Patella fracture; Other names: Broken kneecap: A fracture of the patella seen on a lateral view: Specialty: Orthopedics: Symptoms: Pain, swelling, bruising to front of the knee [1] Complications: Injury to the tibia, femur, or knee ligaments [2] Types: Stable, displaced, comminuted, open [1] Causes: Trauma to the front of the knee [1 ...

    Risk factors include bone fractures, joint dislocations, alcoholism, and the use of high-dose steroids. [1] The condition may also occur without any clear reason. [1] The most commonly affected bone is the femur (thigh bone). [1] Other relatively common sites include the upper arm bone, knee, shoulder, and ankle. [1]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knee_pain

    Running long distance can cause pain to the knee joint, as it is a high-impact exercise. [2] The location and severity of knee pain may vary, depending on the cause of the problem. Signs and symptoms that sometimes accompany knee pain include: [1] Swelling and stiffness; Redness and warmth to the touch; Weakness or instability; Popping or ...

  7. Osteochondroma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteochondroma

    The cartilage cap merges with the epiphyseal area of the long bones called spongiosa. In the spongiosa, the chondrocytes are arranged in accordance with the epiphyseal growth plate. The spongiosa of the stalk continues with the underlying cancellous bone. Fractures within the stalk causes fibroblastic proliferation and formation of a new bone.

  8. Tibial plateau fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibial_plateau_fracture

    The knee anatomy provides insight into predicting why certain fracture patterns occur more often than others. The medial plateau is larger and significantly stronger than the lateral plateau. Also, there is a natural valgus or outward angulation alignment to the limb which coupled with the often valgus or outwardly angulating force on impact ...

  9. Colles' fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colles'_fracture

    Younger individuals tend to require a higher energy force to cause the fracture and tend to have more complex intra-articular fractures. In children with open epiphyses, an equivalent fracture is the "epiphyseal slip", as can be seen in other joints, such as a slipped capital femoral epiphysis in the hip.
