  2. Bone fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_fracture

    Although bone tissue contains no pain receptors, a bone fracture is painful for several reasons: [4] Breaking in the continuity of the periosteum, with or without similar discontinuity in endosteum, as both contain multiple pain receptors. Edema and hematoma of nearby soft tissues caused by ruptured bone marrow evokes pressure pain.

    Weight-bearing radiography of the foot is the mainstay in diagnosis. MRI can be useful early in the disease to separate MWS from mimics and demonstrate bone marrow changes and effusion in adjacent joints; this will help making a diagnosis before changes on conventional weight-bearing X-rays. [16]

  4. Intraosseous infusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraosseous_infusion

    Prolonged use of an IO site, lasting longer than 24 hours, is associated with osteomyelitis (an infection in the bone). [3] Intraosseous infusion-- needle insertion into anterior tibia. The needle is inserted through the bone's hard cortex and into the soft marrow interior, which allows immediate access to the vascular system. The IO needle is ...

  5. Occult fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occult_fracture

    The osseous injury may follow seizures, glenohumeral dislocation, forced abduction, or direct impaction. They are commonly discovered on MRI in symptomatic patients with suspicion of rotator cuff tear. Coronal images are best suited for detection. They appear as crescentic oblique lines surrounded by a bone marrow edema pattern (Figure 5).

  6. Bone healing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_healing

    The process of the entire regeneration of the bone can depend on the angle of dislocation or fracture. While the bone formation usually spans the entire duration of the healing process, in some instances, bone marrow within the fracture has healed two or fewer weeks before the final remodelling phase. [citation needed]

  8. Bone marrow failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_marrow_failure

    Bone marrow failure in both children and adults can be either inherited or acquired. Inherited bone marrow failure is often the cause in young children, while older children and adults may acquire the disease later in life. [3] Acquired bone marrow failure may be due to aplastic anemia [4] or myelodysplastic syndrome.

  9. Avascular necrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avascular_necrosis

    Normally, bone continuously breaks down and rebuilds—old bone is resorbed and replaced with new bone. The process keeps the skeleton strong and helps it to maintain a balance of minerals. [ 23 ] In the course of avascular necrosis, however, the healing process is usually ineffective and the bone tissues break down faster than the body can ...
